We were visiting our son in Boston and went to Lexington MA in December. There was a really nice Christmas tree display in the local museum each based on a children’s book. There were maybe two strings of lights in a one block downtown area and that was all until we headed back. We passed a lot of really nice houses and only one of them had any Christmas lights but oh my goodness did they have decorations. Lots of blow up Santas, Christmas trees and lights. But generally Massachusetts does not know how to celebrate Christmas even now.
Boston along with the rest of America have forgotten how to say merry Christmas at the grocery stores, department stores etc. I remember growing up in an era everybody would wish everyone a merry Christmas. All that seems to be gone. I truly 😢 miss those days. We have lost the true meaning of Merry Christmas! Hardly anybody uses the phrase anymore ….not even cashiers, waitresses, everywhere you go nobody says it anymore. We have all been brainwashed and intimidated not to offend other religions by wishing people a Merry Christmas so we have learned to keep the saying to yourselves. Sad.
