Merry Christmas

Yesterday at the end of the school day, my principal made an announcement to the students. She said, "If you celebrate Hannukah, have a happy Hannukah. If you celebrate Kwanza, have a joyful Kwanza. And, if you are celebrating the birth of the Prince of Peace, merry Christmas!" I work in a public high school, and I don't know if you're really allowed to say "Prince of Peace" in such a place in this day and age. But my principal does a lot of things she maybe shouldn't becuase of what she believes, and usually no one argues with her. So today on Christmas Eve, with far less courage than she has to say such words in a publically funded forum, I wish those of you celebrating the birth of the Prince of Peace a very merry Christmas.
