re:Democrat Ron Simms (mayor of Seattle) has issued an edict forbidding the utterance by employees of "Merry Christmas" in the interests of "diversity". First of all, Ron Sims is not mayor of Seattle he is county executive. Secondly he did not "edict" anything, he just suggests other "religious-neutral" words may be more appropriate. Most people and merchants where I live have been using the phrase, "Have a good or a nice holiday" or "enjoy the holidays" for many years now. The very large company I worked for disallowed religious decorations at least 20 years ago in deference to the many religions of people employed there. People do say Merry Christmas to people they know are Christian but even among Christians, "Happy Holiday" is common. So relax, no one's trying to take your religion away. Heres the Seattle Times take on the story..... seattletimes.nwsource.com
