We can all live with our different faiths. We can all learn to love one another. We must all learn to understand each other.

What Holiday Do We Celebrate? Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos. And so the song goes. Now there are those who would like us to call it December fest or at least say Happy Holidays. I prefer, �MERRY CHRISTMAS� with the emphasis on �CHRIST.� I won�t step on your holidays if you don�t step on mine. Fair enough? MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

Well said, Lew. Thing is, Christmas is what Christians celebrate--it's the birth of Jesus remembered. If non-Christians want to be included...I have no problem with that, Christians are accommodating; but they can't expect us to change what we do to suit them. Christmas it is, Christmas tree is what the tree is called...Merry Christmas is what we say...Christmas hymns about Jesus is what we sing. Do you realize that the letters in SANTA
actually spell SATAN? Christmas is not about Santa, it's about Jesus. It's time folk remember the reason for the season! That is my brief sermon for tonight! :)

God Bless

AMEN!! It is NOT Happy Holidays, it is Merry CHRISTmas, and we need to get back to the Real Reason for the Season: JESUS CHRIST! Very well spoken, and I agree with you 110%!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
