I was once in a store and, in parting, thanked the cashier and wished him happy holidays. He was offended, saying that it was a Christian holiday and I should really say, "Merry Christmas." Thinking back, I wish I had told him the derivation of "holiday." It's "holy day." Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, the winter solstice, Kwanzaa, or anything else, these are holy days. Let's celebrate the holiness and significance of these days and witness the holiness in each other. Happy holy days, friends.
