Day 32

This holiday season, would it offend if I said: take care of each other.

Stay warm.

Be safe.

Bundle up.

Get some sunshine if you can.

Because every time I see someone offended about this war on Christmas thing I, want to ingest and upchuck all the candy and ceramic ornaments from my local shopping centre.

I can't dictate what people should value, nor determine what they hold to be important in their lives. But when the days are at their shortest, we've bid farewell to the warmth, and now settle in for the oncoming winter month; how can you choose to fixate on which holiday greeting your local billboard shows?

How can an inclusive greeting offend you?

Suicide rates skyrocket this time of year, homeless youths risk freezing and starving on the streets, traffic accidents are on the rise and everyone is sick in bed at some point from the air attacking their face!

But you have decided to champion the stupidest cause I've heard of since coke vs pepsi "it's not happy holidays, it's merry christmas"

Good news: It's both and it's neither. 

Because it's cold: Stay warm.

Because it's dark it: Be safe.

Because it's snowing: Bundle up.

Because the days are getting shorter: Get some sunshine.

Because of all of these things, and because we all must deal with them together: take care of yourselves. Take care of each other.

If any of these sentiments feel like a war on your Christmas, then I don't think you're celebrating Christmas properly.
