The “Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays” debate.
So many Christians are getting frustrated because
the very mention of Christ, Joseph/Mary, the manger,
etc being pushed out of the public square that
they won’t say any season’s greeting except “Merry
Christmas.” The concern is that if Christ isn’t a part
of the holiday greeting that the secularists have won.
Removing Christ from the Christmas season has now
become annoying to the point of almost laughable.
And, when I hear the Christmas season is reduced to
something like the “Winter Break” my left eyebrow raises
- (like Spock when he talks to Bones).
My point is that even “Happy Holidays” is under
suspicion by Christians because they’re afraid that
particular greeting is the 1st step in moving away
from Christ/Christmas.
I’m thinking let’s not fret Happy Holidays. It means
HOLY-Day…. Just say it with the emphases on HOLY!
HOLY: dedicated or devoted to the service of God,
the church, or religion. HOLY: Free from evil!
Hello Mr. Atheist, Happy HOLY-days!
