Good morning,
What a hulabaloo.......... Happy Holiday or Merry Christmas. WHHHHOOOOOOFFFA What a joke.
If you want to address that you are of a certain religion then so be it ... Speak up. But for those of us that have been raised with the last 10 days or so (maybe all Month) of December as being the Christmas season, we get in the holiday mood, and as we pass friends or even strangers (at least here in the west) we acknowledge each other with a Merry Christmas.
If a Christmas tree offends someone then they don't need to put up a tree. If I see a Minora or some other symbol of the season I don't make a big deal out of it. To each his own. Sorta like those of us that enjoy a good western vs a science fiction or modern romance novel.
I'm glad that the Seatack Airport put their Christmas Trees back up.
And Merry Christmas to all ........ DELL
The above is my opinion only and should not be held against Kirby or any of his other fans.
To each their own.
I was brought up for Christmas:New Year and Easter as our big days of the year.So,Merry Christmas to all.
Apparantly(Which I heard on my local radio station),that Thanksgiving is a bigger event than Christmas in the States.
Thank God,I wasn't born a Turkey,as I don't like my chances of being spared by the President-the odds are too great.
I appreciate the nod to me, but you definitely know me well enough to know you're not offending me by saying Merry Christmas. Whose birthday was December 25th set aside to celebrate anyway? (Regardless of the fact that it was not on that date--but that's another story!) Anyway, as I said, whose birthday are we supposed to be celebrating? If someone wants to celebrate someone else's birthday and doesn't even want to mention Christ's, or even if they wish to deny his existence altogether, I guess that's their business (and in my opinion their loss, and I'll make no bones about it). But DO NOT even begin to think you can restrain me from saying Merry Christmas, God bless you, I love Jesus, or anything else. I don't try to stop people from celebrating how they wish or worshiping who they wish. I will get downright testy if they try to tell me how I can celebrate or who I must worship. No wars throughout history would have been started by Kirby Jonas trying to force his religious beliefs on anyone. Force has never convinced anyone to truly change religions in the history of Man. But I will be the first one going to war when someone says I will no longer be allowed to worship who or how I wish.
So Merry Christmas to all, and I mean that sincerely. I won't wish you any other phrases for that day, but however you wish to take it I hope the day will treat you well.
Kirby and fans,
I knew that you really wouldn't mind my wishing folks a Merry Christmas but I just wanted those that might not know you very well yet to know they can blame me for this message thread.
Thank you for coming to my assistance to pass the words along that wish every one good tidings, Happy Birthday, and many other ways of greeting, or saying good bye.
AND since Gina wasn't here to stir up the message board I thought I might as well.
Signing in late, as usual, but my best wishes to all of
you for a Happy, Healthy Merry Christmas.........remember if you invert the "m" in Christmas it says Christ Was
