I'm tired of Christians embracing the victim identity. Sure, some companies in an attempt to be politcally correct have gone over the top with "holiday trees." But is it because they're persecuting Christians or have they seen a way to sell more Christmas trees by trying to coax the Jews and the Hindus and atheists into buying a Holiday Tree? I don't know and I don't care.
Most corporate execs making assinine decisions celebrate Christmas only for the buying frenzy that boosts revenue. I'm teaching my children why we celebrate Christmas, and I pray that one day they teach their children.
It's our Savior's birthday.
Besides, it cheapens the "Holiday Mood" (once known as "Christmas spirit") when Christians walk around scowling at anyone who tells them to have a happy holiday. I'm just going to smile and say "Merry Christmas" and be happy that it's my favorite time of year again.
Don't misunderstand my rant above; I am very appreciative of people of other religions who think, like I do, that Christmas is under assault. And I believe the assault on Christmas is more of the undermining of our national values by the left, and I value anyone who wants to fight against that, where ever the front.
But, I've got too many Christian friends who are "woe-is-me" fixated on this and missing the point of Christmas this year.
Well said!

I disagree completely.
It is high time to fight back or it will be marginalized forever.
We are not victims, we intend to prevail and preserve our culture.
