Re: Merry Christmas........Happy Holidays?

Here's wishing you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!! I can't Say that without thinking that i was lost in the world and off to damnation and a savior who I had no respect for took me from the jaws of death and restored me to the sinner saved by his grace i am today. I am no better than anyone I struggle every day to get through this world without becoming part of it. Just like everyone else. But one special day a year I am celebrating the birth of the savior that loved me before i loved him. So that said I guess I'm on the Merry Christmas side of this post.

Shouldn't it be celebrated every day of the year, just like his death and resurrection should be celebrated not one day a year but every day. At least thats what they told me when I lived in the church, I have yet to see anyone follow it though.

I thought i might mislead some with that ! Yes of corse every day belongs to God. what I am saying in regards to Christmas "I am celebrating the birth of the savior that loved me before i loved him" To live every day for him takes his grace and though i'm not very good at that I'm getting better through his grace. Sorry about the misleading statement.

Re: Merry Christmas........Happy Holidays?

when someone tells me happy holidays, i just ask which holiday is it? when they say it's the christmas holiday, i wish them a merry christmas.

merry christmas to all. and happy chanukka to my jewish friends. since we are a judeo/christian based society, i'll simply stop there.

sure do hope i'm being politically incorrect.

Re: Merry Christmas........Happy Holidays?

I was in Wal-Mart about 2 hours ago and the lady at the checkout said "Thank you and Merry Christmas" and I said yes it is. Just a short story I heard this week, bear with me. There was a Christmas play put on by a Kindergarten class and at the end of the play each kid had a letter to hold up that spelled "CHRISTMAS LOVE", the name of the program. When it came time to hold up the letters one little girl held her letter up with pride not realizing it was upside down. She had the letter M, and everyone, including parents were snikkering and joking as the other letters went up. When all the letters finally went up it read "CHRISTWAS LOVE". A hush came over the crowd and the little girls Mother thanked God for working in mysterious ways through her little girl. Merry Christmas Everyone!
