Happy Holidays? I Think Not!
I had a realization yesterday, the day after Christmas, that the use of the term “Happy Holidays” is both dishonest and disingenuous. Yesterday was also the day that a small number of weird (yes, people have never been to Africa who recognize a holiday created in the 60’s that celebrates the ancient traditions of Africa are weird in the same way anyone who celebrates Festivus is weird) people celebrated Kwanzaa but nobody offered me a “Happy Holidays!” New Years day is also coming up in a few days and that is also a holiday but it does not generate a “Happy Holidays!”
No, “Happy Holidays” mysteriously disappeared at 12:01am December 26th. Liberals in this country hate Christmas because of Christ. They realize however that they cannot ignore Christmas altogether because the huge majority of people celebrate Christmas. What they have done though is spread the lie that we celebrate all holidays, not just Christmas, so we must use the generic term “Happy Holidays” but people know better. They have done this in the same way that two men or two women who have sex are no longer called homosexuals but rather they are called gay. People who have sex with lots of partners are not longer called sluts and womanizers but liberated instead. The murder of unborn babies is called women’s rights, reproductive rights, or choice.
With “Happy Holidays” retailers like Target and Walmart finally figured it out and started using “Merry Christmas” again. Everyone knows that the “Holiday” that we are wishing to be happy is Christmas. That does not mean people aren’t free to celebrate Ramadan, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and yes even Festivus but it is Christmas time. If you went to Israel, I would not demand that they stop forcing Hanukkah on me and if I went to Jordan I would not demand that they use a generic term during the season of Ramadan. This is a nation founded in Christian roots but allows everyone to practice their own religion freely. We must remember our roots in Christianity and be proud of it.
People need to be honest and start saying “Merry Christmas” during the “holiday season” because that is the Holiday of the season we are celebrating as a nation. Individuals can celebrate anything they want but America celebrates Christmas.
You can even celebrate Christmas and leave Jesus out if you want. Enjoy the reindeer, enjoy Santa, enjoy Frosty but quit your whining about being offended. Relax and remember, just because most people include Jesus in Christmas doesn’t mean you will all of the sudden become a” Fundy.” People do things in the country that attack my beliefs and could easily offend me on a daily basis but I am ok with who I am and what I believe. I don’t fake greetings and manufactured acceptance to live and be happy.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
