Christmas vs "Holidays"
The secularists have been chipping away at the word Christmas for a number
of years now and are substituting irrelevant (religious ??) concoctions to diminish the value of the celebration of the birth of Christ. Isn't it time we begin boycotting those merchants who in their TV advertising are exploiting the Christmas tradition yet not acknowledging that this is truly the Christmas season. The code word "holiday" season is coming into increasing use in an effort to minimize the influence the Truths that were taught by the Prince of Peace. |

Christians adopted the winter solstice as their own. If you are a Christian I'm sure you are aware that Christ was born in the spring of the year not in winter. Things like greenery in buidings, decking halls and decorating trees predate Christianity but have been adopted by them. Palm trees would be more appropriate as true Christmas trees as a symbol of the holy land. Snow and all that goes with it is not Christian either. Northern tales of elves, reindeer and jolly men in red suits, likewise arn't Christian. People always adopt local traditions, holidays and pagents as their own. Get over it and enjoy the holidays for what they are. Remember there are two s'es in Chri$tma$ and they are both dollar signs! Now go buy some gifts. Bob |

We aren't sure when Christ was born, but we celebrate in on December 25.
I wish the people who still believe that Christ was born (whenever it was) would revolt against the people trying to take it away from us.
