As I traveled west today to make the biennial trek to Western New York I relearned something about the “rest” of America that I sometimes forget while living in my suburban-quasi-urban area of the general unitarian wasteland known as the Northeast. I turn on the radio and all the stations were wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas. As I passed through tollbooths, pumped gas, ate at restaurants and shopped in stores… I would sometimes get the demi-sincere Happy Holidays… to which I would heartily return Merry Christmas… and it would be like turning a light on inside the person… they would immediately brighten and with a twinkle in their eyes and an involuntary grin they’d return back an equally hearty Merry Christmas… like they’d been wanting to say it for days! ![]()
