Let's Do Better This Year

What’s going on these days~ Is the world flip flopping on its side? It’s the fashion of the day To declare how we’re offended No matter what was said Or what we imagine was intended We’ll put a twist on things With much drama and sensation Now it’s offensive to say happy holidays Purists put up a stink Get their nose out of joint Their panties twisted in a knot Offensive or not I fully intend To continue spewing tidings and warm wishes I’ll say happy holidays to everyone I meet From early December on through the month It comes from a place of love A feeling of brotherly kindness And sharing a mood of happiness A hope for living in the moment To appreciate all that’s wondrous Happy Holidays means go be joyous Enjoy every single moment Of this lovely season May your heart be filled With cheerfulness and bliss Like that of a child’s Singing exuberantly Putting up the Christmas tree Setting up the nativity scene Baking pies and cookies Reaching out to family Getting together with friends Stirring happy memories Happy holidays to you! Happy happy happy holidays to all! What’s all the buildup about? A MERRY CHRISTMAS To one and all And a very HAPPY NEW YEAR To everyone ! AP: 1st place 2020 Posted on December 20, 2019

Yes, you are right; Happy Holidays is very generic and those who don't see that an still celebrate something need to take a second look; they are included. I don't think it's so horrible to wish someone the best.

A wonderful poem of truth on how it seems the world is today but the ending speaks my sentiments perfectly. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friend.
