Once upon a time there was a place unlike any other. It was a place where the elders of the community thought long and hard about the way they wanted to live, and about all those things that made people unhappy in other lands.

Yet in time, the loud people won. As they went around wishing each other "Happy Holidays," and "Season's Greetings," they finally got rid of Christmas.

And with that, they got rid of the magic of the land.

How sad and true it is. One is almost afraid to wish someone "Merry Christmas".

Good post.

Whenever someone insults me with "Happy Holidays," I immediately respond with "Merry CHRISTmas."

Sometimes it throws them out of their apathy.

Merry CHRISTmas. Remember why He came.

Start wishing the politically correct (or those who fear their jobs so they tow the line) who offer "Happy Holidays" on this last day before Christmas, the following:

Well, as they say in England, Ireland and Australia, "Happy Christmas"!

or, 'well, as they say in Latin America, "Feliz Navidad' (it means, Happy Nativity). Or in France, "Joyeux Noel".

There are tons of multi-ethnic, diverse, multicultural greetings that will wish them a CHRISTMAS, but the libs cannot do anything about it because they are ethnically diverse greetings.

Of course, MERRY CHRISTMAS! is just as good. I also think there should be sarcastic bumper stickers next year, for all in the shopping lots to see, like "MERRY CHRISTMAS" doesn't offend ME!', or "WHO GOT RID OF CHRISTMAS?". Or "IS CHRISTMAS STILL LEGAL?"

Really, there ought to be a backlash. If most Americans only knew how overseas people unashamedly offer each other a Merry Christmas in different languages, because American-style narrow PC-thought control has no presence or effect overseas (except perhaps in Britain), they would be angry at what has happened in the USA. It gets worse each year.

Christmas is indeed dying out. Let's think of some ways to save it. We are the majority, after all.
