I've heard in past years everyone changing the familiar sound of "Merry Christmas" when in passing around Christmas time to "Happy Holidays." It is now politically correct to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. CHRISTmas is the celebration of Christ's birth. The whole reason for Christmas at all is to celebrate our savior coming to this earth to give mankind a chance to be born again and be brought back into right standing with our father God and know that we can live throughout all eternity with Him! This is the only reason good enough to celebrate this time of year. If you don't want to call the Holiday what it really is then don't celebrate it at all but don't try to call it something else to make everyone happy. IT IS CHRISTMAS, the celebration of our Lord's birth. That is the reason for the season. Nobody worries about offending the christian, so let's as christians stand up for Christ and the reason for this season and call it was it is.
Hey Kara, my name is John. I read a lot of blogs on religion and prayer and I've i feel like I've ended up here once before. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this prayer exchange website PrayerMarket.com I thought it was an interesting idea and would be curious to hear what you (or other Christians) think about it
