First of All... It's been a whole year, wow. I know no one out there is an avid reader... But I still dislike that I walked away for so long. But I'm back! :]
The following is something I wanted to post as a status in response to something on facebook... but it's way too long to make a status and splitting it up makes it harder to read... So I'm posting it here so I can make my point somewhere, whether anyone reads it or not...
To anyone posting... "We can't say Merry Christmas, it's Happy Holidays. We can't call it a Christmas tree. It's now called a Holiday tree because it might offend someone. If you don't like our "American Customs" and it offends you, then LEAVE. No one asked you to come here in the first place! I will continue to say "MERRY CHRISTMAS & CHRISTMAS TREE". If you agree with this please post this as your status, if not, don't complain!"... You clearly don't understand which of our rights are being trampled on... It's not about "American" customs... it's about religion. And people saying that Christmas excludes other non-christian faiths whereas Holiday is inclusive...and tolerant. I'm sorry, but I believe in Celebrating Christ's birth (even though, yes, Our Christmas is based off of a pagan holiday... it now has a real meaning, historically accurate time-wise or not) at Christmas... Not in spreading Holiday Cheer so everyone everywhere can have warm fuzzies. I love christmas. Everything fun and cheesy and cheery about it... But those things aren't its purpose... And I'm not going to stop saying Christmas because it's not PC or Tolerant enough. I'm going to say Christmas because, thanks to the separation of Church and State... I have the right to.
There's so much more I could say to this, but I needed to get this out. And that's going to be enough for now. :]
I'll be getting back to you again soon... So much has changed! So much hasn't... but there's been a lot of work done by a pretty amazing God. :]
For now... Merry Christmas.
