Yes, I still say Merry Christmas. I even have a hat that clearly has Merry Christmas Eh embroidered on the front of it. Nobody seems to mind. In fact, I've even been thanked for showing my Christmas spirit. I believe it's only the politicians who want us to switch to saying things like Happy Holidays. I also think those politicians should learn to listen to the people, because, clearly, we don't agree. Last time I checked, I lived in a country where we still had both freedom of speech and religion.
Recently I painted two successful portraits, and then got over confident and tried to do one of someone I know in one of her many costumes. It is just a small painting and I discovered that if you are off by even the tiniest fraction of an inch on the features, you end up with someone else. I couldn't give it to her, as I had planned to. I liked the painting anyway, so I came up with this alternative use for it. It makes a lovely card, don't you think?
