I love it!
I'm the public affairs director of a large non-profit agency in
Washington, DC. One of my responsibilities is editing our monthly
magazine. Last year, at the direction of our Executive Director, I
included holiday greetings in the magazine accompanied by a small
graphic. It was a nice, simple and warmly artistic lit photograph of a
Christmas candle next to a Hanukah menorah. Subsequently, I received
angry missives from followers of the Christian, Jewish and Islamic
faiths as well as a celebrant of Kwanzaa for either a) juxtaposing their
symbol next to the "opposition", or b) excluding their symbol from the
graphic. (What's the Kwanzaa icon, by the way, a "Kwanzaa Hut"?) :-)
No greetings this year...
73,
Craig
