Christmas is the greatest celebration of the year. It is the time that we celebrate our Lord and Savior being born. It is an amazing thing and a very big deal. People all over say “Merry Christmas” to each other to express their happiness about the time of year. I love telling people Merry Christmas because when I say it I think of the Christmas story.

Then there are people that instead of saying “Merry Christmas” they say “Happy Holidays” or “Merry Xmas”. Those two sayings are my biggest pet peeves around this time of year. There is no reason what so ever that you can’t say Merry Christmas to someone. If you take offense to someone saying Merry Christmas to you then you have more problems than just not being a Christian. There is no reason that phrase should offend you.

The phrase isn’t telling you that you have to believe anything. It is just people expressing what they feel. If people begin to lose their rights of freedom of speech because people are offended by people saying “Merry Christmas” then this country has issues, because I will not be politically correct in saying “Happy Holidays”.

I will say “Merry Christmas” because it is a great celebration. To every person that says “Happy Holidays” to me I will ask what holiday they are talking about because there are many holidays they could be referring to. I hope nobody says “Happy Holidays” to me, because it is very frustrating to hear people saying it to be politically correct so people aren’t offended when people could really just say “Merry Christmas” which is what they would want to say.

I hope I don’t offend anyone, but I hope you have a very Merry Christmas this year.
