December was a busy month - what I had hoped would be a quiet work month turned into a very busy time. So now when the month is nearly over, I have some time to reflect on the month that was - okay, reflection over.
Hope everyone had a warm & wonderful holiday season (Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa). There has been some discussion about the use of the phrase 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas'. You hear Happy Holidays more & more, including in my workplace where we can't say 'Merry Christmas' in correspondence unless the sender has used it. The official company policy is that the use of 'Happy Holidays' is so no one feels excluded - those who do not celebrate Christmas. I think by not acknowledging what we are celebrating, ironically, that becomes a way to exclude those who do. Just something to ponder.
