MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!
Merry Christmas!
The liberals overshot themselves this year. Now they will begin to reap the whirlwind.
And I, for one, consider it merely another Christmas gift!
It's a gift that keeps on giving.
Merry Christmas, you dear person. My granddaughter and I were singing "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" in the supermarket parking lot the other day (she is 3) and it made everyone smile. As we should no better than anyone, there is always hope. And good for you.
Great essay - and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I've noticed that quite a few more people are actually saying "Merry Christmas" this year. Maybe we've had enough of the Left trying to push us around.
And where in the Constitution does it say we have the right not to be offended? That same Constitution not only guarantees the right of free speech and religion, it says that the "free exercise thereof" may not be prohibited.
I completely and totally agree with you on this, Laz. "Pushback" - that's it, exactly.
I work with a Muslim guy from Morocco, and today he told me to have a Merry Christmas. I thought that was pretty nice.
That's all right. When the Baby Jesus comes back in power and glory, He'll kick those offended right into hell.
So. . . to all those who take offense at the Messiah of Israel and the Lord of Glory, Merry Christmas. . . and watch your back. There will be a reckoning ultimately.
Count on it.
As Bart Simpson said, "Christmas is the one time of year when people of all religions come together to worship Jesus Christ."
I'm one of them saying it and I think I'll keep saying it all year long!
Merry Christmas to you. Show them what it's all about!
I am sorry but an "in your face" message, rolling down the window and turning up the radio, will not win converts to Christianity, and isn't that what our calling is? To spread the Gospel?
There is a difference between standing up for the Nativity set on public property or singing Christmas carols, but showing that we aren't going to be humble and spread a loving message is only going to agrivate the situation.
I don't think the majority get offended over xmas, just the PC liberal elite crowd and their lapdogs in the media. I don't celebrate xmas, but I'm certainly not offended by those who do.
BTW, Merry Christmas (and I do mean it)
An old Chinese proverb:"It is as bad to take offense as to give offense."
And I'm also impressed that Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays so their employees can go to church with their families. And Target won't even let the bellringers come near their doors!
HAPPY HOLY DAY !!
Jesus didn't worry about aggravating the moneychangers when he drove them out of the temple! Nothing humble about that! Sometimes we need to show righteous indignation. IMHO
Merry Christmas!

Sooner or later, we may be forced to apply sneaky methods in order to remain safe from prosecution for using the liberal's most hated words... "Merry Christmas" !!!
Which is to say, if we rely on pronunciation sounds, rather than spelling, we be able to stick it to the liberals with "Mare Reek Wrist Miss" !!! ;-))
