Say “Merry Christmas,” Not “Happy Holidays”
https://genzconservative.com/say-merry-christmas/ ^

Posted on 12/25/2020 8:51:41 AM PST by WTanner1776

Merry Christmas to all of you wonderful Americans, Christians, and patriots! Not only have we almost made it through 2020, but also it’s the most wonderful day of the year. The (symbolic) day that Christ was born and God came to Earth in human form. It’s the most important and wonderful day of the year.

So, don’t be afraid to say “Merry Christmas.” Just say it. Be a brave Christian and let everyone know that you believe in the Lord and are joyously celebrating his symbolic birthday. And don’t be afraid to do so; that’s what we’re celebrating. It’s Christmas, not some vague, pagan-sounding “winter holiday.”

What we have seen happen in past years is semi-Orwellian. Institutions from schools to businesses have stopped saying “Merry Christmas” and instead say “Happy Holidays.” In so doing, they are erasing the Christian roots of America. This is not a nation that celebrates Frosty the Snowman, the Winter Solstice, or any other pagan or heathen holidays. The federally recognized holiday that we are celebrating is Christmas. We don’t have a day (or days) off so that we can be Norse pagans and burn a Yule Log. We are celebrating Christmas.

The cultural Marxists in our midst want to do away with Christmas and all other religious facets of American life. They hate that our Declaration of Independence calls on “Nature’s God,” do their best to erase nativity scenes from town squares, want to wipe away all references to God or religion, and look down on Christians.

I ALWAYS say Merry Christmas to everyone including people on the phone and clerks in stores. They always say Merry Christmas back.

Better yet, say what you want.

Sometimes it feels good to say, “Happy Holidays” to someone.

Don’t turn a blessing into some kind of mandated oppressive rule.

I have Jewish friends. And pagans. And Atheists. And some I got no idea. I say what’s right for the person and my knowledge of them. Be polite, that’s what matters.

What stopped you from posting the whole thing?

You even pimp your blog on Christmas day?

Disgraceful.

I agree. I’ve said Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I don’t see anything wrong with either.

Anyone who says “Happy Holidays” to me gets silence in return.

Bingo~ and also how the name of Jesus is always replaced by Lord and Christ rather than acknowledging His name.

I agree there IS a liberal war against Christ, but oftentimes the “general” phrase they promote is too reviled by the right, playing reactionary.

“Happy holidays” has existed long before the PC crowd grasped at it. It often meant TG, Cmas and New Years, although it really was a general phrase from the story of Holiday Inn. IOW, any given holiday, not just winter types.

I don’t really mind it, I just don’t like when the commies use it in a veiled swipe at Christmas.

Don't wish me "merry Xmas"
Or "happy holiday."
Put Christ back into Christmas
On this blessed holy day.

Spouse and I have been saying Merry Christmas everywhere I go and nobody seems to mind at all. In fact, folks in businesses in every case have actually said it first to us.
