The United States has a Department of Energy. Do you know that Britain has a Department of Energy and Climate Change? (Emphasis added, as they say.) Yes. And here is a news article:
Staff at a Government department have been urged to avoid writing the words “Merry Christmas” in seasonal email greetings to avoid upsetting anyone.
Instead, employees at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have reportedly been advised to stick to the more neutral term “Seasons Greetings”.
This reminded me of one of my favorite stories, or facts. I have a friend who worked at a Catholic relief organization. My friend is Jewish. In December, he was the only one in the joint who said “Merry Christmas.” The rest were either scared or conditioned.
