Closed Banner Thread

I just have to say somethingabout that thread.

Ya know I do celebrate Chanukah (more accepted spelling) as my mother is Jewish, thus making me Jewish. My father is baptist so we celebrated both when I was younger. I don't have a problem at all with "Merry Christmas". To me Chanukah has always been more about religion and celebrating the perserverance of "my people". Unfortunatly I think too often in this country people do not hold Christmas in a religous aspect, it's about Santa and presents and for most has little to do with worship. Christmas has become for the most part a commercialized holiday that is secular. As a Jew I am never offended by the term "Merry Christmas". I think believe what you want to believe, but those of you that are getting upset that someone would object to saying Merry Christmas, do you really worship on that day or is it just a day you get presents? Chanukah can become the same way if you let it, all about presents and not about the true meaning. I do have a problem with someone saying "get over it" to someone that does object. We all have our rights to speak our mind and have our own religious beliefs. This country was founded by Christians and JEWS seeking religious freedom. Then again that's just my two cents being probably one of the few on the board that has grown up with a religious duality.

I can't believe that after the Christmas banner has been on here for as long as it has that certain people want to gripe about it. And then manage to get the tread closed. Way to go. You are defiling what Christimas is all about. Call Christmas whatever you want, who cares, I don't. And I won't be offended. Oh, by the way, the banner is still there and I hope it stays. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY , CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY, CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS , MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTAMS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS

In my family, religion has always been a major part of the family life. So Christmas is about Jesus. It is not commercialized, as many today have their Christmas'. It is still about Christ being born, and the significance that has on my life, and the life of the world. It is about thanking God for sending his son down to save my life, along with the lives of many others. I understand that this is not the belief of everybody. When I say Merry Christmas, I am extending the good feeling of the time of year. I am saying that I hope everybody has a great season, and that everybody finds some inner happiness. Whether you have commercialized Christmas, you havent, or if you celebrate something else, Christmas is a time of happiness for me, so I wish that happiness upon everybody else when I wish them a Merry Christmas. No, I have not grown up with dual religions, but that does not mean I do not respect them. I respect all religions. Without religion, what is the point of living life? It gives you something to live for, a reason for all that you do. So Merry Christmas is a term that I use to extend the happiness of this wonderful time of year to everybody, in the hopes that they have as great a time of year as I am.

Great Post! I wish more people felt this way instead of worrying about what is politically correct or whether they felt their religion got snubbed by whatever greeting somebody used!

it is alot like Halloween to me......people say "Happy Halloween" meaning have a good evening of getting candy or watching your little kids run around in costumes or even YOU getting to run around in costumes...very few ppl mean it has what Halloween is REALLY based upon. Christmas, to me, is the JOLLY season...its just like all those OLD Christmas movies like Rudolph and whatnot...the bottom message of those movies was not "YOU HAVE TO BE A CHRISTIAN TO ENJOY CHRISTMAS"...the message they sent was that Christmas is a time of giving and caring and being with the family! Watch "The Grinch" with Jim Carrey.....at the end when Lucy Lou wishes him a Merry Christmas and says that no one should be alone on Christmas, you can see how that affects the Grinch and how Whoville cebrates it as well..they point it out as a time of caring.....NEVER is Christianity pointed out thruought the movie......I promise you if you went up to a person who didn't have anyone and looked them straight in the eye and said Merry Christmas...more than likely they would more than appreciate it
