Merry Christmas to Everyone

I hate those that are trying not to offend.. and say Happy Holidays...

I answer back with a hearty.. MERRY CHRISTMAS... !!

they offend me by cowering to others...

And if I say Merry Christmas to someone.. and they answer back with Kwanza
or Shalom.. I'll smile and shake their hand..

Meryy Christmas And God Bless You too!

This group is so non PC, I love it.

BTW, be careful about saying "Happy Holidays" anymore. There are now
reactionaries out there that think you are trying to secularize Christmas
if you say that.

God has already blessed us.. We get to fly!!

Screw 'em if they're so stupid they think the only holiday is Christmas. Don't
know 'bout you, but *I'm* celebrating Saturnalia. :-)

What about the winter equinox earlier this week?

Let people wish others well in their own way, and I will wish them well in
mine.

That's really what we all are celebrating, regardless of what we call it. As
nearly as anyone can tell, Christ was actually born sometime in August, and his
birth was originally celebrated then (though the early church didn't put much
emphasis on that holiday - Easter was the biggie). Christmas was moved to late
December in the third century. The Romans persecution was at its height, and the
church wanted the congregation to appear to be celebrating the Roman holidays
just like everyone else.

The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.

True, enough, George, and it's never been a secret - the Gospels make it
clear that the birth was during summer.

(For some silly reason, many anti-Christian bigots (not calling you one)
love to talk about this one, then get confused as to why it's not a
heavy blow to everyone's faith.)

But, no, actually, you're quite wrong, a great many of us really are
celebrating Christmas, even if the event didn't take place this time of
year.
