Get over it. Christmas is a celebration of Jesus Christs' birth. That is the reason for the season and all of you cry baby, new age, so called experts, politically correct ediots are trying to change what has been established since way before you were born. If I want to display a nativity scene then I should be able to. If I want to say a prayer in public like at school then that is my God givin right. Who are any of you to make laws? United States are supposed to be for the people by the people. Well a lot of people are STILL Christians. So stop interfering with our rights.
The road to nowhere is paved with good intentions.
Hi realill1. If you're already saying "Merry Christmas" and demanding your rights to put up a Nativity Scene right now, it's no wonder people are telling you to cool it... it's not even Thanksgiving yet!
Be honest and be true to yourself.
Hi Asha, How are you???? Are you O.K. Take care.
Here's how I feel. I'm not a Christian. I know a lot of non Christians are saying they get offended by people saying merry Christman and nativity scenes and all that. I don't really understand why. I believe in the right of any person to practice their beliefs, just so long as those beliefs are not forced on me. And the Christmas celebration is not something that forces anything. Yes, it has a Christian component. It also has its roots in paganism, as the yule. And no matter all that, it's a tradition which represents, at least to me, the closeness and love of family and friends. Wish me merry Christmas and I'll wish it right back to you. I think people who get offended by it are perhaps mentally ill, or jealous. Perhaps beause they have nothing to believe in.
Not at all. Merry Christmas to all.
I am a Christian and I would say "Happy Hanukkah" to my Jewish friends. What's the problem with that?(rhetorical)
Be Thankful
Speak softly
Let your love shine...
I agree with you Lido. All Holidays are worth remembering and celebrating.
There will be no problem if we do not make it a problem.
Some newscasts broadcast controversy just to be controversial themselves.
We are (if we choose those types of broadcasts) bombarded with the "conflict" which often times is not even there.
Be careful what you let your minds absorb. Nourish your mind. Don't simply feed it.
Stay positive in your thinking and in your dealings with others.
You just might see a change in the world in which you live. NJOY!! Life is, indeed, a banquet!
Choose to make it a great day, my new Friend!
....and they are all "Holler Days!"...times to celebrate life and hope and faith with gusto...and our common shared needs for understanding and what we have in common...times to focus on possibilities and shared similitude's, as well as historical traditions. Merry Christmas! Happy Chanukah! Quantities of Kwanza! ? :) Renewing Ramadan! Centering Meditations! Happy Birthday Jesus! Gobbili Gookness! Bah Humbug! They are all sincere expressions of the heart, mind, emotions, and faith in things that can't be fully explained, measured, compartmentalized, or categorized....PERSONAL statements and wishes for others. The wish is a heart thing, not a mind thing to be argued with. Be gratious and accept the gift...the wish for "good" for you... in whatever form it comes! Variety and the unexpected are part of what make life simply amazing and interesting! Our minds cannot fully grasp the immensity of creation, for large parts of it we have yet to discover or even see. The Quark can't be seen or perceived by touch, and it's individual unit influences are not perceptible to the naked eye or measurable with any balance beam or tape measure...but they do exist and influence existence and all material things!...So does "God" and His worldly reflection... the creature "dog" :) and His "image" (whatever that is interpreted to mean), "mankind". To all, a "Merry Christmas, "Happy Chanuka", "Blessing of Ramadan", and "Wonderful Kwanza" with peaceful Meditations and Prayers of the heart for Mankind and the wonderful but resiliently fragile space traveling terrarium in which we so precariously are born, live, die, and are reborn and recycled!"
