Time of year to be offensive

I know it doesnt really fit with the season, but I am going to be non politically correct right now, so anyone that i easily offended should click somewhere with kittens or something.

I am still the type of guy that no matter where I am, I still say "yes sir" and "no maam" and "please" and "thank you" are still the most used words in my vocabulary.  I hold the door for the people entering behind me and even let the car trying to turn or move over cut in front of me.  Most of the cities and towns I travel to, people look at me funny when I do these things.  (Darius Rucker calls it a southern state of mind)  Now is the time of year when I add to that, "Merry Christmas"  I dont care whether you are Christian, or Jewish, or Muslim, or whatever.  Its the reason for the season and I think its worth sharing.  If people dont believe in it themselves, they should understand it is a wish of good will towards others and not be offended by it.  On that same token, I will share that "Happy Holidays" and other such sayings that generalize and commercialize Christmas offend me.  People want to celebrate Hanukah or something else they believe in, fine by me, but other than commercializing everything to make people buy a bunch of crap in the store they dont need or someone else doesnt want, what is the point of removing the whole point behind Christmas.

I am reminded of this song.

Trace Adkins - More of us

Seems like everytime I turn around
Another ten commandments is comin' down
As if this country revolves around
The people who hate my God


They want Him out of the courthouse
And out of the schools
Off the airways and under the pews
I think it's time we remind those fools
Of something that they forgot


That there's more of us
Than there are of them
Don't you think we've taken enough
Of all this givin' in
It's bout time for pushin' back
Watcha say we take a stand
I'm talkin to the Red, White, and Blue
Tried and through proud American friends
Remember there's more of us
Than there are of them
Now listen
I know we've learned to talk the talk
But now it's time we walk the walk
With one voice we oughta call a halt
To the madness in D.C.
We gotta change the course they've got us on
Double check whose side they're really on
Seems to me they've got this country wrong
It belongs to you and me


That's right


Yeah there's more of us
Than there are of them
Don't you think we've taken enough
Of all this givin' in
It's bout time for pushin back
Watcha say we take a stand
I'm talkin to the Red, White, and Blue
Tried and through proud American friends
Remember there's more of us
Than there are of them


Yeah


I think it's that time for packin' back
Whatcha say we take a stand
I'm talkin to the Red, White, and Blue
Tried and through proud American friends
Remember there's more of us
There's a whole lot more of us
Than there are of them


so assuming you believe that way, share a "Merry Christmas" with a stranger on the street, or in a store.  Maybe it will catch on
