As we wave goodbye to Thanksgiving, commercials of "One Day Sales" scream from the T.V.
Lines proclaiming "Bonus Points" and "Limit 2 Per Customer" ooze from newspapers and glossy sales ads.
Not once is the birth of Christ mentioned. I have to strain my ears to hear the word "Christmas" in these array of jingles and flashy thirty-second productions.
Our society has been reduced to a bunch of over-sensitive, pompous politically correct whiners!
It is CHRISTMAS! A time where we celebrate the birth of JESUS CHRIST!
Yes, we've veered off the path of the true meaning, but lately we've gone on totally different trail!
We go out and brave freezing temperatures to spend hours looking for the perfect CHRISTMAS tree, NOT a "Holiday tree". Days go into planning the perfect CHRISTMAS dinner. Children agonize, revise and parents scrutinize over CHRISTMAS lists. You don't ask that special someone "What do you want for Holiday?" No, you ask them what do they want for Christmas and cringe when the item costs more than what you've saved up in your Christmas club account.
We sing CHRISTMAS carols, you know...Silent Night-HOLY Night, Joy To The World-The LORD is come (Hellooooo!)
I refuse to conform to the warped sense of pseudo righteousness of whoever started this "Holiday" nonsense.
As for me and my house, we will celebrate CHRISTMAS!
