CHRISTMAS!!!
If that offends you, well, too bad! This is my blog, my space.
This is one area where I become like a mama-tiger. I'm sick of everyone thinking that Christians are the ones that need to step back, keep quiet, and give in. I will never say "Happy Holidays", "Seasons Greetings", or what ever. Now, don't get me wrong, if I know a certain person (or family) does not celebrate Christmas (for whatever reason), I will not scream Merry Christmas in their face. I will wish them "Happy Hannukah" or "Happy Kwanzaa", or just be quiet. I will also thank them if they wish me the same.
What I'm trying to say is that I respect your beliefs, but I also expect you to respect mine. This "time of year" happens to be the time Christians celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And, yes, I know he most likely was not born on December 25th. So what? I can not celebrate the fact that my God Jehovah sent His only Son to be born of a virgin and live a sinless life as a man, because I don't know the exact date He was born? I don't think so.
Now, off my soap box for now...
Please check out this video at Kim's spot. I hope it brings at least a smile to your face.
