Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I don't even really take part in it. But it is what I grew up with. and when someone says Happy Holidays or Seasons Greetings, it pisses me off! This is America, built on Christianity. And I am not a church goer either. But that is the basis of this country just like English is the language. You can speak and pray whatever you want. But just remember you came here, so expect to see what this country was built on.

Don't tell me or others to say Happy Holidays or Seasons Greetings in place of Merry Christmas. Because it may offend some other religion, tough shit. I don't like people going door to door with religious paphlets either and we all know who they are. But they have a right to do that, and I have a right to say Merry Christmas and so does any other American.

And most of all I will not be offended if I were to tell you Merry Christmas, and you replied with Happy Hanukah. Good, Great, we both wished what we know to one another in a civil manner. AND I know you'll enjoy your Hanukah, and I will enjoy my Christmas. That is what it means to be a FREE AMERICAN!

And I know it is mostly stores that care what employees say to the customers, and that is because... LOOK AT ALL THE MONEY THEY MAKE, it is ridiculous. People borrowing money, putting things on lay away for months, to have a nice Christmas. Spending more than they can afford. What a joke. It feels good to give, yeah sure it's great. but come on, this holiday is so distorted and all about money. If you ask me the "Holidays" are the number one cause of family fights. It also does nothing but make the poor feel more poor and the comfortable struggle for a few months, and the rich just rub it in the faces of all the rest... LOOK at what we got, LOOK at what we gave away... Go ahead call me a grouchy scrooge, but I bet you don't call me a liar.
