In this season of political correctness, it would seem that it's OK to wish someone Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza or any other holiday you would like to mention over the season, or make one up, I'm sure it will become very popular. Well, I say, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'm sorry if the mention of Christmas offends, but it IS the celebration of my Lord's birth and I will celebrate and not apologize for it. I'm not going to water it down with Happy Holidays or Merry Xmas. I don't know if the liberal press has noticed or not, but most people in this nation celebrate Christmas. My celebrating the birth of my Lord should not bother anyone celebrating another holiday just as Hanukah doesn't offend me, why shoud Christmas offend someone else? When did it become popular to treat Christians as the minority? It's propogated by the same people who would like heterosexuals to feel as if we are the minority. It's the same people who want us to believe that morals are a thing of the past. It seems that, as usual, those with the loudest voices are in the minority, but try their best to make us feel inferior or not quite as enlightened as they.
My Bible says about this bunch of political correct idiots, "Proclaiming themselves to be wise, they became fools". This is who our media intelligencia would like us to believe are the ones who are truly "smarter than the average bear". What does the Bible say? "Fools" Oh, I know, I'm not supposed to quote the Bible. That would be wrong. Wait, is it politically correct to call someone wrong these days? Oh wait... Yes... One can say whatever one likes about Christians. We are those archaic individuals who actually believe the Bible to be the Word of God. We are those who actually try to uphold decency and respect for authority, you know, law and order.
Well, I will conclude the way I began. It doesn't matter that someone else in another corner of the country is shouting us down. Let's hold our heads up high as we freely proclaim the birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. "I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes" (Rom 1:16). Merry Christmas!!! There, I said it.
Until later,
Don

Well said. We live in an age where certain folks think that they know whats good for us, and I am convinced that Freedom and Liberty are not among the items on their agendas. Fairness and Equality are also not in their plans except as a way to divide and upset people.
We have seen public schools, universities, and other institutions continuously cave to Political Correctness by pushing Christmas and other christian holidays out of the public sector. Yet we are expected to shut up and look the other way while the State bows down to every request from muslims for special treatment and accommodation.
As an American and a Texan, this really 'chaps my hide'. But as a Christian it really makes me yearn for my true home with my Lord.
And it makes me grateful for God's sovereign plan. Maybe thats part of the beef with Christmas, the reminder that God's plan for mankind is our Savior.
