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! |
I'm a Christian and I also say Merry Christmas. What I don't like is how Christmas is abbreviated as X-Mas.
I'm afraid I'm going to "stir the hornet's nest" but I have to share my views of the original post.
This is America, and yes we have the privilege of Free Speech, so I feel it is wrong to correct other people who chooses to say Happy Holiday's, Happy Hannauka or Happy Quanza. That's
their choice and I have no right to correct them.
Good Cheer, is just one person giving warm fuzzies to another. There is no reason to let one little word turn a good moment into a confontational one. Jesus wants us to LOVE our Brothers and Sisters regardless of our differences.
Merry Christmas to each of you!
May God Bless you, your family and friends.
