See, Christianity is less about what we say, and more about what we do.įor those eager to put Christ back in Christmas, I have a few suggestions.
America is a “free” nation where people are free to practice the faith tradition of their choosing. The position of power and dominance around saying “Merry Christmas” is founded in the idea that America is a Christian nation. There is a local establishment with a sign in the entrance that makes it clear they say “Merry Christmas,” regardless of the fact many of their patron don’t celebrate this Holy holiday. This time of the year is always intriguing as some Christians claim persecution for saying “Merry Christmas.” While being accused of being “woke” or politically correct, others and I have adopted the phrase “Happy Holidays.” It’s a term that respects and honors people I know and those I don’t who are Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and other faith traditions. It’s a personal choice I made which governs my life and more importantly how I treat all of humanity.
I’m unapologetic about my Christian faith.
