This forum is for open discussion on the generic handling by retailers (and others) of our Christmas Day celebration and preparation. Post your thoughts and feelings on Christmas here.
at the request of board members. I prefer the "Ultraforum" format, but nobody else does! LOL! I don't have any nativity pictures, but I'm sure someone out there does!
Hope that helped - Dan
BTW - I think everyone probably knows where I come out on this without my saying so, but I think that people who don't like the phrase "Merry Christmas" or don't want to recognize that Jesus is the reason that we celebrate Christmas, should really stop and think about where we'd be otherwise. I mean, from a completely secular point of view. Would this time of year, this season, be the major holiday that it is WITHOUT Christmas? Would we really make a big fuss because it's "Kwanza" (sp?) or the end of Ramadan (SP?) or Chanuka (SP?)??? Of course not. Not only that, but I think that those same folks should think about something else. Because this nation was founded upon the principles of the Christian faith, these other belief systems have found a place to flourish. Would these other beliefs even have a place to call home if not for the "live and let live" philosophy of a Christian nation? Of course not!
When someone wishes me a "Happy Holidays", I usually answer, "and a Merry Christmas to you!" This season is not anything special without Jesus, and the sooner folks realize it, the better off we'll all be!
Merry Christmas, one and all!
