Amen! I've refused to call it "holidays."
I'll always call it Christmas.
Christmas it has been, Christmas it is, and Christmas it will always be. Keep up the tradition and the true spirit of the Nativity.
& we have "Evolved" a WONDERFUL Tradition called "Christmas!!"
"Christmas" has TRANSCENDED most Other Cultural Traditions!
"Christmas" is SPECIAL; MANY Cultures Celebrate this Holiday.
The Concept of "Christmas" has Permeated MANY cultures!
The "Idea That" "Christmas" should be abandoned is "Cultural Suicide!!"
DESPITE "Cultural Imperatives," "Christmas" is a "Concept" UNTOUCHED BY ANY "Cultural Imperatives!"
"CHRISTMAS" is a "Concept/Belief" BEYOND ANY Cultural Definitions; "Christmas" is the "EMBODIMENT OF" "Eternal Life!!"
Christmas represents the HOPE that we exist in a "Life Eternal!"

Me, too! I am a Christian, and it is MY day to celebrate the birth of Christ. I have as much right to say "Merry Christmas" as a Jew to say "Happy Hannukah", etc. I am waiting for the day someone says I cannot say "Merry Christmas".
It'll always be Christmas in this house. So, may I take this opportunity to wish everyone of my Freeper friends an early Merry Christmas! :) PS: I believe we all got an early Christmas present in very early November. :)
