'HAPPY HOLIDAYS'

Restoring Christmas to the season

One of the surest signs that it is Christmas season is the incessant attacks by the secularists on the holiday itself. From the removal of mangers from public squares to the banning of Christmas carols from school plays, the attacks on this holiday have been steadily escalating. Indeed, it is frowned upon to wish someone "Merry Christmas", as the culture now prefers the innocuous "Happy Holidays" instead. All of this is not surprising, given the all-out war our culture and the left have declared on Christianity itself.

Christians, however, can take great solace in the meaning of the season, as so beautifully stated in Luke 2:10-11: "But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.'" Those words are as significant today as they were 2000 years ago. Merry Christmas to all.

The Macy's policy of ignoring the phrase "Merry Christmas" is a slap in the face to all Christians. On Dec. 7 and 8, I wished my Jewish friends a "Happy Hanukkah." On Dec. 24 and 25, they will wish me a "Merry Christmas." Macy's wants to reap the monetary benefits of Christmas and at the same time not recognize it. Since that is their policy, you obviously should not purchase Christmas gifts there, so I won't. Their sponsoring of the Macy's parade to usher in "the holiday season" and featuring Santa Claus at the same time, obviously has their PR and marketing departments confused. Their "politically correct" stance is a farce. "Merry Christmas!"

Yes, poor Christians, hardly able to get their religon recognized anymore. Why, if it wasn't for these letters I'd never know it was Christmas at all!
