Merry CHRISTmas!
November 30, 2007 3:09 pm EDITORIALI am seeing the word Christmas vanish from much of the holiday ads, commercials,and greetings from store personnel this year. While I know this erosion has been coming gradually, it seems I have been slapped up beside the head in 2007.
Political correctness has proved to be a dangerous concept. It is one more step to destroy this Christian nation. Everyone and his dog can voice any opinion in the world except those who believe in Jesus….and they are slammed for it.
Our founding fathers thought they had this covered and it should have been enough. Military, police, firemen and many others have given their lives for their belief system based on Christianity. It is not just a holiday season, it is based on the birth of the son of God. If we as Christians don’t take it seriously, then we deserve the backlash of the non-Christians.
Let’s put Jesus back in Christmas and back where it belongs in documents, buildings, schools, prayers, swearing in ceremonies, public occasions and our hearts.
I urge all of you to say Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday Jesus when you can…wear tees and sweatshirts proclaiming your faith to strangers and friends alike. Don’t let “Happy Holidays ” go without a resounding proper reply.
“Jesus is the reason for the season “and we need to remind ourselves and everyone of that. If not us, then who?
