Merry Christmas. Say it. Mean it. Resist this ridiculous effort to change what is a religious time of year to something else. Why are some trying to change it? It is the commercial chain stores, Macys in New York, owned by Federated Stores, wants us to say Happy Holidays or Seasons Greetings as though it was Easter break, or something else, because in THEIR interpretation of Christmas, they THINK that other religions will be offended. Offended. Like Jews, Muslims and Buddhists will refuse to shop. And shopping is more important than real merry Christmas. I notice the Hudsons Bay has no 'Merry Christmas' either, are they buying into the sham? The Bay is being bought by Target from America. Are they trying to suck up to their new indifferent to Christmas bosses? There is an organized campaign growing in the states to boycott Macys. Not a bad idea. Even if you're not religious. It's Christmas and it's Christ's birthday for Chrissakes!
Given the choice, I'd rather boycott Macys and the Bay than Jesus Christ.
I certainly enjoy your comments, they are like a breath of fresh air. Keep up those interesting posts.
