Getting Christmas haters off my chest

2008!! Did you ever think we’d be here? Thank God we are. First let me get some old stuff off my chest. I LIKE CHRISTMAS! I like saying Merry Christmas, I like Christmas Presents and I resent agnostics AND visitors and newbies in MY country who are INSULTED by it, Personally I am insulted by SCHOOLS that have mandated that CHRISTMAS TREES are now to be called holiday trees and kids are allowed to wish others HAPPY HOLIDAY. In deference to the season I will not use the language I would ordinarily use when I’m at the height of passivity-----(my friend Thel’s word) But I really don’t care how insulted they get!. The reason people are HERE from other countries is BECAUSE they are escaping oppression and/or looking for a better life in land that offers the freedom .to SAY whatever and whenever you want.

Okay I’m not stupid I was raised with some semblance of sense and I would never ever knowingly wish a Muslim Merry Christmas. But if I didn’t know they were, and I said it, what’s the big deal? Did the words somehow take away a year of their life? Did it ca use one of their kids to fall down dead? NO! While I once applauded the fact that America was diverse enough to allow me to get to know and try and understand other cultures, but its when those cultures get ALL amenities, the freedoms to live the way they want WIRHOU having to run away from people who come to persecute them or take away family members in the middle of the night, Yet we who have lived here all our lives and grew up with a certain belief are no longer ALLOWED to express that belief in the way we always have because it INSULTS others . Well let me be the first to invite them to kiss my ass. If celebrating holidays is so abhorrent, then I suggest that these people enjoy the comfort of whatever airline they came here on and return to their land of HELL and Destruction. And as for the agnostics and atheists, please give me a break; if you don’t like it DON’T CELEBRATE IT. Looking at holiday lights and/or Christmas trees is not going to make you go blind.
It was Christmas for me when I was growing up and its Christmas for me now, anyone who does not like it can lump it with the lump of coal they get in their HOLIDAY stocking.

Now that I have expressed my feelings against the non-believers and insulted, Let me get something straight with you all who rush to do Christmas shopping but do NOT remember the reason for the season. It’s CHRIST”S Birthday, not yours or your kids, or the dogs. Gift giving is fine, but have a little humility as you remember the beautiful night that brought forth the most sacred of beings. While you buy the IPODS and Game Cubes, try and get a grip!
