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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
