What do you greet people with this time of year?
Some people argue that Jesus is the reason for the season. "Merry Christmas all the way," they say. Others emphatically state that we all must stick to the politically correct "happy holidays."
What to say in the classroom? I completely skirt the issue by sending my departing students off with a "happy winter break!"
After all, I believe that a month off from students is the reason for MY season.
