Politically Correct, or Merry Christmas?
As Christmas approaches, I am noticing more and more people trying to be politically correct- and failing miserably in their attempts to sound enlightened and tolerant. Instead they come across as being unsure of themselves and wishy-washy.
“Happy Holiday’s”. or “Seasons Greeting’s” are the new norm. “Merry Christmas” is almost a thing of the past- as if people are afraid to admit what this season is supposed to represent: the birth of the Savior, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. The only begotten son of God, the one who made a way for us to be reconciled to the Father.
Why are people afraid of this? Because if they show their loyalty to Christ, by saying “Merry Christmas”, they may offend someone?
I say, let the world be offended. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Working in a toy store, I have seen many different cultures, and people from other religions buying gifts to celebrate their Holiday.
I still say “Merry Christmas!”
Most often people get a huge smile on their face, and reply with “Merry Christmas!”
Being politically correct is not in my blood (thanks mom and dad!), and I refuse to bow down in fear of being thought religious or non tolerant. After all, I am not tolerant of the world telling Christians how we should express our faith, but I am not religious either.
I am in a relationship with the one whose birth we celebrate next week. He made a way for me to go to heaven and be with my Father- God.
So, in appreciation of having a right relationship with God- I sincerely wish you a “MERRY CHRISTMAS”, and a Healthy Prosperous New Year.
