My essay responding to the ongoing "debate" or "controversy" over the use of "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" appears today in the Oakland Press.

I shared this with the community because I've become deeply concerned about the reactionary nature of this debate. Demanding that one be greeted at Walmart with a Merry Christmas is not, in my view, a good way to put Christ back into Christmas. Whether or not the use of "Happy Holidays" is a sign of political correctness, is really beside the point. The point is whether this offers a true witness to the one we welcome at Christmas. I have shared my opinion with the community as a way of stimulating a broader conversation about the way we present ourselves to the broader community.
