I had people all this week wish me a “Happy Holiday”.

Isn’t it EASTER? What Holiday? Now you can’t say Easter. I made sure I replied by saying “Happy Easter to you”.

Well its more than just a Holy Day since it’s called Holy Week. You know Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday :)

I learned an Easter greeting from a former co-worker: “Christ is risen!” to which the response is: “He is risen indeed!” I think it's from the Orthodox church. Very lovely and I wish it would catch on. It always lifts my heart to hear it.

I respond to “Happy Holidays!” with “Happy Holy Days to you” which I cribbed from someone on FreeRepublic, but I don't remember who.

Happy Holiday? Maybe they meant to say "Happy HolyDay"? Happy Holiday kind of makes it hard to differentiate between the various holidays, celebrations throughout the year.

Yeah, they tried that with me too. I smiled and said, "A blessed Easter to you." Some people thanked me. I suspect they were relieved at the lack of PC-ness.

Easter (for Christians), Purim (for Jews), Mawlid an-Nabi (for Muslims), and the Vernal Equinox (for pagans).

I went to Wal-Mart today and a cashier was saying "Happy Easter" and I replied "Happy Resurrection Day!"

She just gave me a big ole smile. She got it.

Yesterday was Purim as well.

I love to throw people off and wish them Happy Purim. It’s a WWJD moment for me!
