MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

I saw a commercial and they were talking about "holiday cards".

Over the years we've been slowly taking Christmas away from the masses because it has "Christ" in it. It's Christmas, not Holiday.

Try buying Christmas cards. Everything says "Have a nice Holiday", it's hard to find any that say "Merry Christmas".

Happy HolidayS (emphasis on the plurality) is acceptable if you are encompassing Christmas and New Year's.

Nobody drives by a Christmas tree lot and says, "Keep driving! We're looking for a Holiday tree lot".  Do you?

 

I'm confused. I thought this country was based on freedom of religion, freedom of speech, inalienable rights and liberties; because my pursuit of happiness is being infringed upon when some idiot started calling it a Holiday tree!!

Now kids get out of school for Holiday Break, we used to get out for Christmas Break.

I didn't know X as in XMAS is from the Greek letter chi (Χριστός, Xristos) that represents Christ.  I guess I have been putting up a stink against myself when I get/got angry over this one.  But, I won't change my mind, because if folks like myself didn't know, then how could others? 

CHRISTMAS it is.

One of the most prominent Christmas tree controversies came in 2005, when the city of Boston labeled their official decorated tree as a holiday tree. The  response from the Nova Scotian tree farmer who donated the tree,  was that he would rather have put the tree in a wood chipper than have it named a "holiday" tree.

 

What next? No more Santa?
