Season's Greetings- bah humbug!!!
On Monday, we started answering the phones with Season's Greetings. At lunchtime my relief, Jenn, got a call that went something like this...
Jenn-"Season's Greetings, SGS"
Caller-"Season's Greetings...(pause)and Happy Holidays"
Jenn-"Happy Holidays to you as well"
Caller-"Is it okay if I wish you Merry Christmas...(pause)...because I don't have a towel wrapped around my head."
Jenn's mouth just dropped open and she didn't know what to say...she just gave a nervous laugh and asked how she could help him.
I guess there are alot of Christians out there who still get offended that others may be celebrating something different at their holiday time.
GET A LIFE, PEOPLE!!!
I know that the correct response usually comes to you later but if I get a call like that I can honestly say that I don't celebrate Christmas and I don't have a towel wrapped around my head...except when I'm coming out of the shower!
It blows my mind the unmitigated ignorance of some people!
And the season is young, yet! I guess we'll see how this goes as we get closer to the ~hallowed~ day.
