Christmas is seen as a time of joy and wonder, sacredness and significance. But it’s easy to get tripped in the potholes of busyness, consumerism, and worst of all, fights about the “reason(s?!) for the season.” In a world as polarized as ours, one of those traps is the “Merry Christmas” versus “Happy Holidays” debate. What SHOULD we say? What CAN we say? What CAN’T we say? And most of all, how do we avoid the blow up at Christmas dinner that is anything but “merry” or “happy”? But what if we could go beyond the controversy? What if we could debunk the debate? What if we could actually discover the “holy” in the “holiday?”
