Best Wishes of the Season

“We at The Rag, who hale from various beliefs and cultures, want to extend to all of our readers a warm and hearty, innocuous gesture at this time of year in which many who do not believe such rites are sacrilegious hold celebrations for diverse reasons.”

We spent a great deal of time and money to create the perfectly inoffensive holiday (don’t use that word) message. So you don’t have to go through the arduous process that we have, we offer the following list of terms not to use with explanations:
 
TermOffends
Holiday Atheists. Derived from holy day.
Christmas Non-Christians
Chanukah Non-Jews and Jews that spell it Hanukkah
Kwanza Assholes
Noel Some members of the British pop group Oasis and some playwrights
Winter Southern Hemispherites
Peace on Earth Terrorists
(hey, aren''t there three A's in Kwanzaa? Oh, I don't fuckin care.)
Goodwill towards Men Women, robots
Happy New Year Non-Gregorian calendar cultures (mostly slopes)
Frosty milkshakes
Rooftops basements
sugarplums diabetics
Dick Clark's Rockin New Year everyone
