To my seventh grade teacher, I was an enigma to say the least. He seemed never to be surprised at what I said or did. Once he said that if everyone was in the hall and a warning came for everyone to move to the walls, everyone would obey except me, who was against the wall and now would move into the center.
One day, about this time of year, I raised my hand to make a comment. I said the holiday greeting was wrong -- we should say Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year. The teacher slowly repeated what I said, shook his head, and went on to whatever he had been discussing.
I was right then and am right now. Christmas is a holy day and should be observed happily and reverently. If you want merry making with fire works and partying, do that on New Years. Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to all.
