No Happy Holidays

In case you haven't noticed - its Christmas. The time of year when Christians, for two thousand years give or take a few, have celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Even within Christianity there are those who do not celebrate Christmas and, of course, the non-Christian world does not. But about a billion Christians do and have always been joined in the celebratory part by non-Christian friends and neighbors. As well, countless non-Christians profit from the Christmas celebration by supporting it with various commercial activities like selling gift items and Christmas Trees - and good for them. Celebrating Christmas is no more harmful or offensive to non-Christians as is the celebration of Jewish or Muslim holidays to Christians. Yet it is primarily fallen away Christian's who are trying to suppress Christian practices. They should get over it and, instead, practice a little 'tolerance' on their own. And so -

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY.
