In the last 3 weeks...at Walmart, the grocery store, Best Buy, all of the “big box” home improvement centers & every place else I’ve shopped...the employees have happily said “Merry Christmas!”

The last 10 years this was not the case. In fact, I had gotten to the point that I would wish THEM a Merry Christmas...to see who would respond in kind.

Anyone else notice this? It’s joyful!

Yes! I had a lady on the phone one day who said it to me first. I was surprised because it was a call that very likely was recorded. We chatted for a few moments and she actually said that she believed that God had her answer my call (she was able to help me through a potentially expensive mistake I had made). It made me so happy to hear someone feeling free enough to express their belief in God and to wish me a Merry Christmas. She was a blessing.

People seem happier, more joyful, expressive of the season. I was in stores the last few days, They are saying “Merry Christmas” with big smiles to friends and strangers alike.

Always Happy Holidays. This year, Merry Christmas more so.

People need to face it, it’s Christmastime, always has been. Not Hanukkah or any other holiday. The majority in this Country celebrate Christmas. The majority is shrinking but it’s still Christmas. In K-12 schools, it’s Christmas Break not Winter Break, no matter how much they want to say otherwise. Don’t have the “winter break” over Christmas then. The “holiday” break...what holiday would that be again? Christmas.

I had to laugh, we spent two days discussing Hanukkah and the Menorah for one kid in the class, but can’t mention Christmas or Christ for the other 20 kids in the class. We have treats and parties and gifts for “winter break” lmao.

I had lunch yesterday at a local steakhouse and the “Merry Christmas’s” were bouncing off the walls! Very enjoyable.

Why would you wish them a Merry Christmas? It’s their job to say it to you.Then, if they do, you can reciprocate.

That’s good news. Then the evil spell is broken. People are treating their neighbors with respect and kindness.

It’s one small step for man, and a giant leap for MAGA!

Yes. I cannot recall on instance this whole time since Thanksgiving when someone said “Happy Holidays”. It has been “Merry Christmas” every single time.
