As a faithful Christian, I find it hilarious that people are upset that RETAIL ads don’t say CHRISTMAS in them! If the holiday were about CHRIST you wouldn’t care so much about what STORES are doing. It’s the stores and the promise of presents that has LED to this so-called problem.
No matter what the ads or stores say, the commercialization of what I think is the most important day of the year is the problem, not what word a person uses to describe it. I will buy my kids gifts just about any time of year. I love to surprise my family with trinkets and toys whenever I can. But Christmas is the one day of the year when my family focuses on what it’s really about. The birth of our saviour can not be appropriately celebrated with Tonka Trucks and Tinker Toys. And getting a gift on Christmas is hardly a surprise.
Where are the real christians?
Gotta agree. And forget about political correctness. Aren’t we all here for freedom and less intrusion from outside forces into our lives? So why are we advocating to force strangers to say ‘Merry Christmas?” I’m in my 50’s and well remember as a child seeing signs, ads and wrapping presents with gift tags that were the range from “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Holidays”, and even ‘Season’s Greetings.”
Agreed.
Out here fighting to keep Christ in Christmas.
The secularists are trying to do away with the term "Merry Christmas" in order to take Christ out of Christmas. They've been at it for a few years now. I wrote "DID YOU FORGET WHY THERE IS A CHRISTMAS" four years ago. Wrote "ACLU Christmas" three years ago. That's how long I've been fighting to keep Christ in Christmas. And the battle had been going on for a while before I jumped in.
If you're interested I made videos for my songs and put them up on you tube yesterday.
