Worse than that, for almost half of the rest of the Christmas season they're grousing that the holidays are over.
I love this time of year.
I force clerks and store associates to acknowledge Christmas even if I am buying a quart of milk as my sole purchase.
If I need to ask for location of an item say even a shirt I ask where the mens’ Christmas gift shorts would be located at.
I am tired of the homos and athiests and the socialist being in my face at every turn and now I am right back in their face.
If a clerk or store associate initiates things with a Merry Christmas etc I make an effort to thank them for their effort. If their register or work area is decorated with Christmas or religious items I praise them for their efforts.
If we are to save this Nation and keep it the Country that our founder set up in our Constitution we need to become warriors in our faith.
Quite so. I think it was William F. Buckley’s sister Aloise who observed that her family had the spirit of Christmas around mid-November, and the Spirit of Ash Wednesday by December 25!
I’ve been pregnant more often than most people (although not more often than Aloise Buckley), and you’d better believe you’re not *celebrating* the birth of your baby when you’re 8 months pregnant. You’re *waiting*, with varying levels of anxiety, misery, and joyful hope.
The X in Xmas is the greek letter chi, which represents Christ. Also, the X is a cross and this cross/X was the symbol was used by early Christians (very early) to secretly identify to each other that they were Christians. This was back when Christians were persecuted. We may need to save this X and use it again the way things are going.
Thank you for being Faithful my Catholic brothers and sisters (though I am not), I am an Protestant.
The pagans never “owned” Christmas- It was ALWAYS Christian.
now if pagans want to celebrate a holiday around this time then that’s their right, but don’t call it Christmas.
Of course if they want to celebrate Christmas (as in Santa, Snow, Candy, Presents, and Consumerism $$$$ secularly) that’s all right too-though it would be intellectually peculiar as they would be celebrating a holiday of which the roots are in faith in God, and His Son’s death and resurection- or rather his appearce as a baby, and beging of life on earth He created!
I just wish they would come to faith in Christ!
Nordstrom’s is proudly saying Merry Christmas this year.
there's nothing for them to 'take back' from Christians, they can continue to worship the dirt, trees, weather or whatever they do...
“On Nov. 11, the American Humanist Association announced its ad campaign in The New York Times and The Washington Post. The ads read: “Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness’ sake.”
Whose definition of “good” should we go by?
