Merry Christmas To All

How great – a doggie nativity! I cant even imagine how hard this was to arrange!

And a similarly doggie themed video short.

"CHRISTMAS has a special meaning for those of us who are Christians, those of us who believe in Christ, those of us who know that almost 2,000 years ago, the Son of Peace was born." -- President Carter, Christmas 1977
Today's leftists would probably pummel him for that quote. Yet not long ago, we all celebrated the Spirit of Christmas--even those of other faiths. This is why I don't say "Happy Holidays."
"I find it appalling when people say it's politically incorrect to talk about Christmas, you've got to talk about 'The Holiday Season.' Christmas was a time of family warmth and love. There was a feeling of forgiveness, acceptance. And I do believe in Father Christmas." -- Greg Lake
A local shop owner was told by a customer that he should wish people "Happy Holidays," not "Merry Christmas." She said he might offend people. He replied, "If there wasn't a Christmas, there wouldn't be a holiday, so Merry Christmas."
 
That is especially true this year. While the Jewish Chanukkah does often overlap Christmas, this year by a quirk of the lunar calendar it was nearly a month before. (And may all of Jewish faith have had a wonderful time then.)

And in that spirit, the ever goofy Tom Lehrer.

Bah, Humbug! The Growing War Against Christmas

Have you noticed how a growing number of businesses no longer say "Merry Christmas" on the phone or in their stores?

Have you seen how stores are celebrating "Happy Holidays," not "Merry Christmas" in their advertising and store displays?

They want money for the Christmas celebration but intend to deny even the existence of Christmas.

I've noticed that the vast majority of Jews and other non-Christians have no problem hearing "Merry Christmas" from someone, or even saying it themselves. After all, it is meant in a spirit of good cheer and best wishes.

Only a handful of politically commiecrat liberal activists and liberal media elite have a problem with it.

Many retailers have sadly caved into this liberal commiecrat assault on Christmas.

Perhaps they just need to be told by the good guys to buck up and not listen to the Scrooges of the Left.

Dr. James Dobson has put together a list of stores and their policies about calling a spade a spade and declaring Christmas "Christmas", or not.

In your own daily life:

1. Say it: Say "Merry Christmas". And if someone says "Happy Holidays," reply with joy "Merry Christmas." Don't lose an opportunity. (If they wish you a Happy Chanukah in response, thank them, smile and give the thumbs up. I like Jews with pluck).

2. Your cards: Make sure your Christmas cards don't say "Seasons Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" like the leftist Political Thought Police want. Proclaim Christmas in Christ-centered cards, even if you are not particularly religious, just to piss off the Left.

3. Christmas Purchases: Avoid shopping at stores that fail to say Christmas in their ads or in the stores. Feel free to let the manager know, it can help change the policy.
