Hands OFF Christmas!
rant, video December 21st, 2007
I am sick and tired of hearing the phrase Happy Holiday at this time of the year. When greeted this way, I always respond Merry Christmas to you too! It is December 25th after all, which is CHRISTMAS, nothing else, no other holiday but Christmas.
Why some people are so afraid of Christmas? Is being politically correct so important that they throw out 2000 years of history and tradition? Who are they trying “not to offend” by renaming December 25 to “Holiday” from Christmas?
Who are they?
I have yet to meet a person of another religion who was offended because Christians celebrate / or call Christmas CHRISTMAS. Have you?
I had lunch with a friend yesterday who is Jewish. He said something like ”I wish people would bring back Christ in to Christmas, because it is Christmas, not a generic holiday.” He wants for Christians to keep their Christmas tradition so that he can learn more and be reminded what Christmas really stands for to offset all the commercial and materialistic messages we hear this time of the year from all around us.
I like what Stuart Shepard of CitizenLink.com did in this video. He sends a message to all the retailers who are afraid to call December 25 Christmas. They do not want to offend their shoppers by using the word Christmas but they look ridiculous when trying to convince their buyers to buy their Christmas Trees, Christmas Lights, Christmas Gifts, Christmas Cards – who do you think will buy that stuff? People who celebrate Christmas or people who are offended by the word Christmas?
Watch the video, it is really good:
Merry Christmas!

Why do Christians get upset when non-Christians or Pagans say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas? Why force non-believers to say “Merry Christmas”. Where is the love in that.
Christmas is a hodge podge of traditions and beliefs other than Christian anyways.
I look at it this way. When people say “Happy Holidays” they are actually saying “Happy Holy Day!”

Definitely agree with what you stated. Your explanation was certainly the easiest to understand. I tell you, I usually get irked when folks discuss issues that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail right on the head and explained out everything without complication. Maybe, people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
