Things wordy, geeky, and webbyHoliday Wishes
Saturday, December 24th, 2005 at 8:03 AM |This season has seen a lot of potshots at Christmas and its surrounding traditions. But not me. I’m going to tell you exactly what you want to hear as I put it in my annual letter to friends.
[Fill in blank with apropos greeting] [Fill in blank with holiday of choice]!!!
Now let’s see if anyone can find something wrong with that. 
If you desperately want to say, “Merry Christmas” to folks and fear getting backlash… say it in a different language. I recommend staying away from “Feliz Navidad” and “Joyeaux Noel” because most people know what they mean in English. Oh dang it, now I’ve got the Felix Navidad song going in my head (it comes and goes every Christmas and it started in 1980 when we sang it in 5th grade Spanish!).
prying1 posted two versions of holiday greetings… Democrat and Republican.
Avert Your Eyes did a smart thing. Cleared her holiday greeting with her attorney. She also shared a politically correct holiday story.
Toby posted the Holiday Excuse Generator. Oh dear… I just spread the virus further. The link doesn’t take you straight to the generator thanks to Flash as the link doesn’t change. Click on “Excuses, Excuses, Excuses.”
Free ebooks from eReader. New book every day till January 1.
NTI Shadow 2 backup program for $0.99 (yes, that’s less than one dollar) through December 31 and then it returns to its regular price of $29.99. The Dallas Morning News gave it mixed reviews (not online yet). PC Magazine gave it good reviews, but several users didn’t.
