The company I work for gives boxes of cookies to our clients every Christmas which we hand deliver. I wish a Merry Christmas to those whom I deliver to and have had some very enthusiastic responses. Even yesterday I was somewhat surprised to hear it was the first Merry Christmas they had heard all season. Even more surprising is the depth to which PC has crept into places I would not have suspected. One delivery is to the Sisters of Saint Joseph, who never reply to Merry Christmas with Merry Christmas, instead their heads are lowered and a meek thanks is offered up. It makes me feel as if I have offended them in some way by mentioning Christmas, I honestly cannot understand this.
