As I Recall

I started high school at the most progressive educational institution in Nashville, Tennessee way back in he early 1980s. I remember the University School students were admonished at the assembly one day a few weeks before the winter school break that they should not wish folks around campus a "merry Christmas" as there were many Jewish classmates and others who did not celebrate that holiday. I am Jewish, but hearing that never offended me, and I made it a point after that to extend that salutation at every opportunity. Merry Christmas to one and all!
