Reading this thread has really lifted my spirit....... Sometimes I think that I just "ain't with the times" with all the politically correct ideas and ways of doing things. I am glad so many have the same opinion as I do! AND BRAVO to Walmart.... they figured out that many were boycotting them last year due to the "NO Merry Christmas" greeting policy..... so they changed their ways!

I HATE people who are anti their country! Unless you live in a terrible place, where you have no freedom, but America, it's great! We're lucky, and things aren't perfect ofcourse, this isn't paradise
but you're still lucky to be here.

Well said!

I hate when people who are citizens of this country talk like it is the worst country ever. I will admit, I haven't been too happy with the president, but I still honor my country and am proud to be American. The worst though, is when you get people from another country who move here, and b**** constnantly about the U.S and how their country is sooo much better, it's like WTF did you even move here then??!?!?!? Oh and I won't even begin to talk about those people who were protesting at the funerals of fallen soldiers, they are even worse!

The birthday of Christ is the only good reason
We’d celebrate during the cold winter season.
Why we’d bundle up from our head to our toes
Then head out to shop with a cold in our nose.

If we were just planning a gift giving day
Why would we not make it the middle of May
When weather is nice and it’s sunny and warm
And we would not fret over cold snowy storms

The icy slick streets that we traverse to shop
The snow and the slush in the mall parking lot
The crowds at Walmart and the standing in line
Behind worn out parents with children that whine.

The passing of time, has caused some to lose sight
Of the great miracle on the long ago night
Let Christmas be time that we worship the Lord
Not time to give more gifts than one can afford

The true Christmas spirit, believers will say,
Is just not the same on this gift giving day.
What once was a time for love, peace and good will,
Became time to run up our credit card bill.

The meaning of Christmas, for some, has been lost
When giving a gift becomes all about cost.
The best gifts are still those that come from the heart
Those gifts can’t be found in a store shopping cart

If you want a holiday all about giving
I won’t try to force on you my way living.
But I’d like the spirit of Christmas restored
So in my house we shall all worship the Lord

Thank you for posting this thread. It is great! Merry Christmas one and all.
This is America and it is what this country believes in. In God we trust in on our money! If you do not believe in God that is your belief but don't try to change it for the rest of us. I get so upset when I hear politicians, schools etc. changing our beliefs to benefit others. Makes me sick. What is our country thinking? Carol & Buddy

Rem&Silkmom · 11-13-2006, 02:07 PM

Merry Christmas to all! Yes...it is Merry Christmas for me this year as well. And if you don't like the united states you can always leave!

Yorkielove123 · 11-13-2006, 02:23 PM

Amen!!!! It is Merry Christmas for me also!

I do to hate what is happening with our country in regard to celebrating one of the most holy holidays.. If we would stop patronzing the stores that have the No Merry Christmas Greeting. You see how fast they stop and go back to wishing all a Merry Christmas.Christmas is a big money maker for the retail stores. The commericals on tv didn't help either, lets see what happens this Christmas season. I wish you all a early Merry Christmas..

This is really interesting I just got this email a few minutes ago, I thought it would be a good idea to post it on this thread.

Interesting suggestion, but also one I think I will make an effort to put into practice.

A Letter From Jesus Christ, concerning His birthday celebration.

Dear Children,

It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. Maybe you've forgotten that I wasn't actually born during this time of the year and that it was some of your predecessors who decided to celebrate My birthday on what was actually a time of pagan festival. Although I do appreciate being remembered anytime.

How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be
most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth just, GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Now, having said that let Me go on.

If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and
snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn. If all My followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them all around town.

Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a
holiday tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees.
You can & may remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching explaining who I am in relation to you & what each of our tasks were. If you have forgot that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.

If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish list. Choose something from it.

1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time.

2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know
them personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.

3. Instead of writing George complaining about the wording
on the cards his staff sent out this year, why don't you write and tell him
that you'll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up. It
will be nice hearing from you again.

4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford and they don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My
birth, and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I love them.

5. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive
him or her.

6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take
their own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless?
Since you don't know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile it could make the difference. Also, you might consider supporting the local Hot-Line: they talk with people like that every day.

7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them
a warm smile and a kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "Merry Christmas" that doesn't keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping there on Sunday. If the store didn't make so much money on that day they'd close and let their employees spend the day at home with their families.

8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary,
especially one who takes My love & Good News to those who have never heard My name. You may already know someone like that.

9. Here's a good one. There are individuals & whole families in
your town who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. If you don't know them (and I suspect you don't) buy some food & a few gifts & give them to the Marines, the Salvation Army or some other charity which believes in Me & they will make the delivery for you.

10. Finally if you want to make a statement about your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do things in secret that you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your actions that you are one of mine.

P.S. Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me & do what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the
list above & get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ball is now
in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and remember, I LOVE YOU.
