    I understand and share your distaste for the PC world we have built, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t add a caveat. There are a lot of “true” stories of Christmas. There is one in The Bible, and there is one about a toymaker named Kris Kringle, and there is one about Saint Nick – not to mention the roots of the whole thing being buried in the Roman celebration of Saturnalia.

    It’s not enough to say that this is how everyone else believes, and so, this is how it affects you as a Christian, in my opinion. A fair shake means all possibilities presented, and if they walk away feeling that they should believe one of the others things, it’s their choice.

    That said, to take Christmas and try to downplay it as if it isn’t a Christian holiday is like saying we can have Hanukkah, but we can’t call it that – we’ll call it 12 Days of Fun instead. We’ll all KNOW it’s Hanukkah, but it won’t offend anyone. It’s silly. The holiday is what it is, and we should spend more time celebrating it with our families and less time analyzing it and worrying about what everyone else thinks…

    Just my two cents, of course.

  4. Frank/David,

    Here is the thing, I’m Jewish and I just don’t care if someone says Merry Christmas to me. I love to be wished well and for my wife and children to be wished well. I also love it when I hear Happy Holidays but I generally will wish the person back a merry Christmas unless I know they are not Christan. I do this because I think most people are celebrating Christmas and enjoy being wished well in their language style.
    I hope if people know I’m Jewish then they will wish me a Happy Chanukah but if they don’t then I’m happy to have wish them a merry Charistmas.

    Oh, I agree. I think the whole notion of a friendly greeting offered in the spirit of the season, whether within or without a religious context, being “offensive” is silly. It’s a happy time to be with family and create memories…
