Druid: ‘Happy Holidays’ OK

It was a letter to the editor in the Coeur d’Alene Press Wednesday 2 December 2009 that really got me riled. Where the writer admitted to wanting to go downtown and spend money freely until seeing something posted that said, “Happy Holidays.” And proceeded to “get upset” that “Merry Christmas” wasn’t being displayed instead. The question that I have for both the writer and the Press, where is your Christmas spirit?  After all, what did Christ teach in his lifetime?  Love thy neighbor as thyself, of course.  Doesn’t sound as though much love was in evidence if the writer could take issue with a sign/ Arch Druid .
