<p>Several years ago, during the most wonderful time of year, I recall visiting the grocery store and wishing the cashier a &#8220;Merry Christmas.&#8221; His reply of &#8220;a Happy Holiday to you, too&#8221; left me puzzled, to say the least. What exact &#8220;Holiday&#8221; did he mean to wish me &#8220;Happy&#8221;? I had wished him a Merry Christmas; it&#8217;s not as if my religious leanings were in doubt. He could not have possibly meant to wish me Happy Hanukkah, and even that I would not mind. If he had meant New Year&#8217;s, then why not just wish me a &#8220;Happy New Year.&#8221; Kwanzaa &#8230; well, I&#8217;ll get to that in a moment.</p>
<p>The clerk&#8217;s insistence on saying &#8220;Holiday&#8221; instead of Christmas reminds me of how G.K. Chesterton said the West is &#8220;on the road to producing a race of men too mentally modest to believe in the multiplication table.&#8221; Nothing better sums that up than a meme currently circulating the Twitterverse:</p>
