The "War on Christmas"

Hey everyone!
Just a thought: I hear about how there is a "war on Christmas". Friends, there is no such thing, except what some folks might be trying to manufacture. Some folks even get worked up about how store clerks say "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". If my enjoyment of Christmas and my celebration of my Savior's birth depends on some store clerk saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "happy holidays", then my faith isn't all that strong and I'm pretty insecure about how I'm celebrating Jesus' birthday. The biggest threat to Christmas isn't people who say "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas", it's people who trample people literally to death scrambling into a Walmart on Black Friday (to get at the sales which really aren't any better than the sales that are going a week or so before Christmas) and shoot each other at a Toys'R'Us and drink too much and go too deep into debt and forget to tell their children that Santa Claus and presents and candy canes, etc., are all to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.

On the other hand, I read about how there are some atheists who have put up their own anti-Christmas display in the vicinity of a nativity display on a courthouse lawn somewhere, going on and on about how the nativity scene is a message of hatred and fear, blah, blah blah. To those yutzes I say: GET OVER YOURSELVES!! For the rest of us who aren't so whiney and insecure, the best way to fight such goofy stuff is to ignore it!
