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.. BT "Dude" wrote in message ... 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. |

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? |

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.

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. That's really what we all are celebrating, regardless of what we call it.
