I have never understood for the life of me why "progressives" need to make such a big deal & stink about Christmas & it's various symbols over the last few years. Do they really have nothing better to do? Are they just jealous & bitter? What part of "freedom of religion" do these people not understand? Is Santa Claus that offensive?!? The manger scenes?!? Rudolf?!? While the holiday is based upon a significant event to Christians, Christmas to me has always been for everyone(I've yet to be corrected otherwise). You would have to blame this on my Father. As kids we were given Christmas presents, & next to our Menorah my father put up a miniature tree, Santa Claus, & Rudolf. He considered Christmas the celebration of brotherhood among all men (it was the 60-70's so yes you can add in Sisterhood & women if you like). I have always viewed it that way as well.
I like Christmas windows in stores, decorations on peoples homes, Christmas parties, Christmas shows & songs (many written by "the people of the old book" http://www.interfaithfamily.com/arts_and_entertainment/movies_theater_tv_and_music/The_Jews_Who_Wrote_Christmas_Songs.shtml) & the festive mood. It generally is a happy time of year that puts people in a good mood(we would all be better off if the Christmas season lasted all year long). No one has ever excluded me or anyone else I know from enjoying the holiday. I like wishing people "Merry Christmas" if I know they celebrate Hanukkah I wish them a Happy Hanukkah, Good Kwanzaa, etc... What's the problem with putting up lights & a Santa, a Menorah in the window, a Mazoa basket out on a table?!?
If you really hate Christmas & it's symbols soooo much that you have to ruin it for the rest of us...please leave the country. Seriously...now!No one is holding you here...this isn't Iran, North Korea etc...leave, go there (have you started packing yet?) I'm pretty sure they don't celebrate Christmas in N. Korea...they might in Iran though...not sure. So..either deal with the holiday cheer, smile when you see the decorations, wish someone a Merry or a Happy..or please leave the rest of us alone to observe our "silly" holidays & enjoy your superior enlightened progressive ways somewhere else (are you still here? do you need help with a flight? bus ticket to the airport...goodbye...good riddance!) For those of you who do enjoy the holiday season...Happy Holidays to All(the holiday season for me starts on Thanksgiving...do progressives celebrate Thanksgiving or is that next on the hit list?)!
