Are you so brain-washed that you interpret someone saying “Happy Holidays” as them declaring a war on Christmas? Is it even possible so many of your brain cells have been destroyed that you cannot comprehend the simple fact that many people, good people, do not celebrate Christmas but still want to convey a wish for happiness. There is a long list of holidays this time of year like Kwanzaa, Chanukah, The New Year, Festivus, Ramadan or Diwali. What is the heinous offense committed by saying “Happy Holidays?”
My guess is the loudest of the complainers have not seen the inside of a church since Aunt Petunia died six years ago. They probably run up the largest credit card bills buying gifts because it must say somewhere in the Bible this the true way to celebrate the birth of Christ. Do you imagine this is how Jesus would react to a wish for good tidings?
Why not spend your energy taking the celebration back from the retailers who have turned Christmas into the most secular holiday in the world. It is all about getting you to spend your money on Black Friday so they can turn a profit. So next time someone says “Happy Holidays” just smile and say “Back at ya!”
If you want something to obsess about try the fact that 20% of the children in our country go to bed hungry. I believe fixing that would be a much more fitting tribute to the birth of your savior.
