Merry Christmas To All CR4 Members And Readers

12/16/2007 6:17 AM

MERRY CHRISTMAS....

On the way home last night, I was listening to the radio when a newscaster called his little 91 year old granny to talk to her about the 'Holidays'.

He mentioned that he had noticed that Christmas has become so 'politically correct' that no mention of Christmas is made by most retailers, we now wish people 'Happy Holidays.'

His granny said she missed the Old Fashioned Christmas when everyone wished each other 'Merry Christmas'.

I thought about it and agree...so this year I will be making a conscious effort to wish everyone Merry Christmas...my way of saying that I am celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

So I'm asking my email buddies and friends, if you agree with me, to please do the same.

And if you'll pass this on to your friends, and so on...maybe we can prevent one more treasured tradition from being lost in the sea of 'Political Correctness.'

Kind regards, from far away....

I never thought it politically correct to say Happy Holidays working in retail and with other people I didn't know if they celebrated Christmas. I said this out of courtesy and many years before "politically correct" was PC or even a phrase.

Merry Christmas!

I doubt Christ would be happy about the commercialization of his name.

Merry Christmas to you and everybody else Kiwi. I'm up for returning to the old values too.

I used to a lot of missionary work in NZ - I think I mentioned 'coastal hostesses' before....!

No matter what religion you are, on Christmas, we really celebrate the coming together of family and friends we've made throughout the year! And family and friends are always worth celebrating!!!

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Same here! Merry Christmas to all!

I'm kinda like "Larry the Cable Guy" with respect to political correctness . . . "Lady of the evening, lady of the evening, lady of the evening," just doesn't take the place of "Ho, ho, ho!"

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. His birth changed the whole world -- and He can change your life today.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
