AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2008!!!!!
God bless us. Everyone. Oh, wait a minute I might offend the athiests
or agnostics--Even though I AM one, I'll say it anyway because it's
that time of the year and it makes people happy.
Charles (and other PC-types), maybe, instead, it would be best for
each of us to wish our fellow hams -- and or fellow man for that
matter -- something blessed and peaceful that we feel deep in our own
hearts. If the ham on the other end of the circuit feels animosity
towards me for being wished Merry (or Happy) Christmas on a day we
hold near and dear, that doesn't say much for him, IMHO, and if
that's the case, do I really want him in my log?
Wish me a Merry Christmas, happy Chanukah, joyous Kwanzaa or bid me a
merry winter solstice...I'll not take offence at any, nor will I
think less of you for doing so.
And while I'm at it and on the subject of the 4th of July, God Bless
America and keep her men and women in combat safe.

Subject: [DX-CHAT] 'tis the season
To Western hams, mostly.... Please remember it is most polite to
offer a "seasons greetings" or "happy holidays" to those not of the
Christian faiths (instead of "Merry Christmas" for
example). Receivers of the mis-directed "merry christmases"--most
will forgive the senders' misplaced earnestness but the implied
arrogance and cultural insensitivity still remains to taint in a
small way an otherwise happy season.
Thanks for your understanding of individual differences.
And, no "happy fourth of July" to a Brit, pse. 73,
Charles Harpole
