Fox News has also been saying “Merry Christmas” and quoting Scripture and just had a segment in which it was stated that “the Nativity is the center of Christmas”.
Step back, take a deep breath. Saying “Happy Holidays” isn’t a bad.
I saw that. It was a breath of fresh air.
What is the meaning of holy?
From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/holy
Definition of HOLY
1 : exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness
2 : divine (for the Lord our God is holy — Psalms 99:9(Authorized Version)
3 : devoted entirely to the deity or the work of the deity (a holy temple, holy prophets)
The Biblical words translated "Holy", both Hebrew in the Old Testament and Greek in the New Testament, have the connotation of some thing, place or person set apart, consecrated, dedicated for the particular purpose of honoring God.
So, "Happy Holidays" means days that are set apart, consecrated and dedicated to the purpose of honoring God, who came to earth as the Christ child to save us from our sins. Because of this we are very happy, happy as in Joy to the World!
Merry Christ Mass or Happy Holy Days, either one works for me. And with an attitude totally out of sync with the season, I say to the ACLU and all the other Grinches who raise their ugly heads this time of year, "PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!"
Step back, take a deep breath. Saying “Happy Holidays” isn’t a bad.”
THANK YOU - I wanted to say the same. A No Christmas policy is one thing, but that is not what this is. The poster of the thread and the others that will be bashing FOX just because of this banner may as well bash Bing Crosby as well. After all he sang the beautiful song, “Happy Holidays”
I've liked all of FNC's holiday greetings :)
