As a follower of God, I try to stand up for what I believe in, and this seems to be an opportunity. I realize that not everyone is a Christian, and I am not trying to shove my views down your throat. But it seems others are forcing their beliefs on us.
Christmas is slipping up on us. We are starting to feel the cold weather. We are seeing the bright green Christmas trees. And before long the Christmas spirit will arise. The Christmas spirit is brought forth by many happy things: shopping, exchanging gifts, and hearing the greeting, “Happy holidays!”
Let’s back up: “Happy holidays.” These two words are fine separated, but together they cause the Christmas feeling to escape from my heart. Is it Easter? Is it St. Patrick’s Day? No. It is Christmas.
Today, atheists are doing everything they can to stop people from saying Merry Christmas. Why is this happening? People are so caught up in their own feelings they don’t care what other people feel. Christmas is when our Savior was born, baby Jesus. Without Him, we wouldn’t be celebrating anything. So, what right do the non-believers have to rename Christmas? None!
I hope you will support me in this simple stand to bring God’s name back into His birthday, Christmas. It’s not about presents, Christmas trees, or Santa Claus, although there is nothing wrong with these things if you understand the true meaning.
It’s about giving God all the glory on the happy day of December 25, and putting selfishness aside.
When the time comes, let’s show the world how to truly have a Merry Christmas!
