I was put in charge of decorations for the office holiday party so I went to check the storage room for the decorations we used last year. There were none to be found for Hanukkah or Christmas. I asked my boss to explain and she said it was a new company policy handed down from the home office that mandated no holiday decorations that could be associated with any religion. All I found was a mechanical parrot that whistled the tune for the Macarena while moving its wings up and down. Maybe he could hold some mistletoe in his beak?

Quite funny and sad today because so much is taken as offensive when it was never meant as such.
Wishing you and yours a truly Merry Holiday, and a prosperous and peaceful New Year!

Well, the deadening effects of PC’s felt again. Someone named Scrooge doesn’t work in their headquarters does he? That was a funny way to get around it, though. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne
