I had originally posted this on WT..however there are not alot of members on the forum yet...thought I would post it here...This irritated me last year and now the season is coming up again...FAST! I'm not posting this to start harsh words...this is MY OPINION and how I feel.......I believe it is MY RIGHT to say "Merry Christmas"! I am 49 yrs old and have said this my entire life. This is america! the land of free speach! Last Christmas after I paid for my gifts I said "Merry Christmas" The woman at the counter looked at me and said "Happy Holidays" I looked back at her and said NO! "Merry Christmas"! I REFUSE to take Christ out of Christmas....THIS IS MY RIGHT! and no one is going to take it from me..we have had different beliefs from different religions for YEARS! why change things now! If you don't believe in Christmas just smile and walk away...say nothing! but don't take MY right away....And if I want to pray in public, school, say the pledge of allegiance I am going to do it!! These are things I have done my entire life....and I am NOT going to stop now...

just want to know how you all feel about this one!
