The politically correct gestures of salutation (Seasons Greetings, Happy Holidays, etc.), which for too long have served as substitutes for the real thing, have become hollow, stale and boring. This season, I sense a desire on the part of many to return to the tradition greeting, "Merry Christmas." Perhaps this has to do with the disillusionment of Americans with the false hope proffered by those who told us that redemption lies in government.
