Silly, silly people...
Kelly brought this up in one of her entries.
I sometimes answer the phone at the fitting room and I've been reported (not that it counted or anything) for saying "Happy Holidays" in the intro-answering-the-phone bit. When I first started it (back around Thanksgiving), I just rotated from "Happy Thanksgiving" to "Happy Holidays." When December hit, I went ahead and started "Merry Christmas" alongside the "Happy Holidays."
So, per management, I'm just sticking with Merry Christmas. I even return the "Feliz Navidad" I'm given from the Spanish customers I help (they're so friendly). Nothing wrong with that. It may not fly in the classroom setting, but places of employment still have immunity. I can only imagine all the court cases with religious (of all sorts, not just Christianity) discrimination this season...
Lord knows people say Christ all the time -- what's wrong with Christmas?
Silly people. OFF the semi-soap-box.
ANYWAY, I'm going to Gatlinburg, TN for the Winter Retreat!!!! HECK YES!!! I'm SOO GLAD they let me off on such a short notice. I can't think of a better way to bring in the New Year... Jeremy Camp, Third Day, a great hotel, my youth group - XD FUN STUFF.
I'm excited. REALLY excited. I've been church-event-deprived for too long now (there was an event in July I had to miss), so I'm going to make the most of it. My parents are paying for it - <3<3<3 - so all I need to focus on is warm clothes. ...ha, and preparing my heart and mind for the conference/concert. Just a little important.
I'm sleepy. First semester's done, so no class tomorrow morning. I want to do something after work... hm. Oh well. Maybe if BROWN would call me. -__- I tried calling once this morning after church and a second time this evening before work. Perhaps he really has drained all his minutes. Tsk.
MUAH to all. Keep toasty.
