It's not nice to make inanimate objects lie

Last night we had our company Christmas party. We gave these mugs out as party favors.


When we were looking to purchase something, someone asked my opinion. I objected to the choice. Not because of the item iteself. It's a really nice insulated mug. No, it's the text  with which I hold issue. In case you can't see it clearly, it says "Thanks for bringing cheer to our year". I said "It's a lie", and it is. This has been a very difficult year at work, especially for our area. While some employees have sometimes brought us amusement by doing dumb things, more have been prominient and persistent pains in the posterior. Thus, something like "Happy Holidays" would have been a much more sincere statement.
