Yesterday was "Black Friday," which marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. I really love this time of year because whether people admit or not, it's not much ado about nothing. The whole world is stirred as we celebrate Christmas. It is the birthday of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Hey that's why they call it CHRISTmas.
There are some who would like to do away with the greeting, "Merry Christmas!" They say it's offensive. They think we should say, "Happy Holidays," instead. Well, no matter what they choose to say, it is what it is! It's Christmas.
A woman, who has always made hand-made ornaments for the White House Christmas Tree, reported that she received a letter stating that no religious ornaments would be accepted this year. The tree will be called a "Holiday Tree" instead of a "Christmas Tree." She wrote back that they would not be receiving any ornaments from her.
Here at the furniture store where I work, we say, "Merry Christmas." In fact, just the other day Odell shared a "YouTube" video by Go Fish, entitled "Christmas With a Capital "C." Just click on the title and you can see it too.
For now, let me wish you a wonderful Christmas season. Blessings!
