Sometimes I have a hard time believing that folks like david don't get this kind of thing; I think it is more just another thing to get all hot and bothered about.

Really? So America 'd NOT be great if we were ALL descendants
of the original English or Dutch settlers (or the Indians)?????
I don 't see that.

LOL that David is surely is in keeping with the claimed love full message of your cult savor!

Let seized up our weapons and go to war with anyone who would dare not to show the “proper” respect to our cult.

The dark side of Christianity that down through the ages had resulted in killings and wars on a grant scale is alive and well in your heart my friend.

Merry Christmas and peace on earth indeed.

Those of us who agree with me
shoud join in applying their money toward restoring the status quo ante,
as of the first half of last century (thru the 1950s).

Those merchants who choose to withdraw from the old celebration
r welcome to see red in their annual bottom lines
and to be green with envy of competitors who DO.

Then we can shout: HO, HO, HO!!!!!!!!!

I love the fact David that a group of New York City merchants successfully turn this religion event into a commerce windfall for themselves in the 1890s or so and now it is as must a part of the cult as it Jesus had declared in the bible we should all go out and buy gifts and give a greeting of Merry Christmas as we do so to each other.

What a lovely cult you are a member of.

Ashura (Islamic, Muslim)
St. Nicholas Day (International)
Bodhi Day - Buddha's Enlightenment (Buddhist)
Virgin of Guadalupe (Mexico)
Santa Lucia Day (Sweden)
Las Posadas (Mexico)
Hanukkah* (Jewish)

Ashura (Islamic, Muslim) In America, we need take no cognizance of Moslem holidays.
St. Nicholas Day (International) Christmas ?
Bodhi Day - Buddha's Enlightenment (Buddhist) not important (that falls on Pearl Harbor Day; done with)
Virgin of Guadalupe (Mexico) not important if u stay away from Mexico
Santa Lucia Day (Sweden) no reason to go there
Las Posadas (Mexico) R u OBSESSED with Mexico, Richie ??
Hanukkah* (Jewish) That has ended; I asked u "next" ?
Christmas (Christian, Roman Catholic, International)
Kwanzaa (African-American - Dec. 26, 2009 - Jan 1, 2010) That is not real; fony, based on commie lies, from a pervert.

If someone prefers to wish me, or anyone else, "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas", that's perfectly fine with me. The sentiment may not be particularly specific but its still appreciated.

I'm not at all content with the folks who claim to be offended by someone wishing them "Merry Christmas," or who would have us remove the phrase from our social lexicon.

If someone should send me a Kwanza, Bodhi Day or Yule card expressing their wishes that my family and I have joyous, blessed or gleeful celebrations I will be anything but offended. Quite the opposite.

Petty, pinched minds that find pleasure in being offended are not ones with which I wish to spend any part of my holiday.

"Kwansa" is an anti-Christmas, communist fraud. I point that out, when convenient.

I know one family that celebrates Kwanza as a sort of adjunct to their celebration of Christmas. There is absolutely no evidence that they are Communists or fraudulent.

They send us a Christmas card every year, but I would be happy to receive a Kwanza card instead.

It was set up as a communist black alternative to Christmas.
Its DATE is no accident. It was aimed against Christmas.

I believe in fighting against political correctness. That can be fun.

My remark was limited to that commie kwanza nonsense, as an alternate black holiday.

Its none of my business if the blacks wanna celebrate that,
(or any other time)
but I 'm free to point out its known origin.

Somehow I have a feeling that the pagans once feel the same way about the Christians nonsense.

In any case given the history Christians can not logically claims any special rights to this holiday period(winter solstice) over anyone else.

If Christians wanna celebrate the birth of Jesus,
thay r within their rights to choose a date for it, for their own people.

I believe main words were (hope I am not speaking out of turn) were "over anyone else."

Christians do have the right, so does anyone else.

As just a side note: Christmas is not biblical so it can't really be a "Christian Holiday." The only day we are told to observe is the first day of the week to "break the bread" and "take of the cup" in memory of Jesus's death (not birth) and that is by example in the NT and was something Jesus himself told his disciples to do. You would think if it was important to celebrate his birth, something would be said or shown in the NT about it. So all those getting all twisted up about people taking Christ out of Christmas are confused because you can't take Jesus Christ out of something He was never into in the first place.
