I’ve mentioned it before, but two of my write-ups were for wishing someone a “Merry Hallowthanksmas and a Crappy New Year,” and “Happy Commerce Day.”
(In context: The first one was said to a friend, but my manager overheard it and told me it was totally inappropriate. The second one was after I’d gotten yelled at for ‘Happy Holidays’ and then for ‘Merry Christmas’ back to back, so I called it what it really is.)
“If you don’t Christmas exactly the same way I Christmas, you’re a communist, atheist, holiday-hating savage.”
“How can you *possibly* celebrate Christmas without making homemade fruitcake cookies?!”
Amazing ain’t it?

“Have a Slap-happy Saturnalia!” (Honestly, I should do this and see how long before some kind of religious historian catches the reference.)
Everyone, please! Calm the fa-la-la-la-la down!
Just wish people a happy Festivus and then take anyone airing grievances at you as getting in the holiday spirit. Problem solved.
Say “Happy whatever you celebrate. And if you celebrate nothing, have a good day.”
