The War on Christmas

How we will End the "Happy Holidays" Epidemic

The War on Christmas
Donald Trump Christmas Rally, Cedar Rapids, IA

There is an all-out war against Christmas, and it's been brewing for decades, especially since that Muslim B. Hussein O'Bama was elected president.

I went out to buy Christmas presents for all of my friends and family last week, and in every single store I entered - Every Single One! - the staff greeted me with "Happy Holidays!" I understand that lots of people are celebrating whatever they celebrate now, but this is America, and I should have the right to celebrate Christmas, and to say "Merry Christmas" wherever and whenever I please.

First, they take Christ out of our schools, forcing our children to learn that their ancestors were monkeys or something. Then, they take the Christ out of Christmas, teaching our children about Santa Claus and presents, instead of about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And now, they are working to destroy Christmas altogether. By forcing us to say "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas," they are forcing us to forget about our religion and our American heritage. Here in the United States of America, we celebrate Christmas. That's just the way it is, and if the immigrants can't appreciate that, they should go back to where they came from, and celebrate their holidays there.

The all-out war against Christmas has only become more intense during the past eight years. With an obviously Muslim and un-Ameican president, it's a wonder we are allowed to celebrate at all. During the past eight years, fewer and fewer Americans have been wishing others a merry Christmas. Nativity scenes have become more and more difficult to find, and what's more, very few people even bother decorating their homes with Christmas lights these days! This is a chilling and undeniable attack on our American way of life.

It is such a relief that on January 21'st we will finally have a President who has vowed to defend Christ and Christmas in this war. President-Elect Donald Trump has vowed that upon his inauguration, he will ensure that we can celebrate Christmas the way that it was meant to be celebrated. We will finally be able to wish strangers and our loved ones a Merry Christmas. The past eight years have been difficult, but finally in 2017, we have something to look forward to: an end to the war on Christmas.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
