This Article Was Written in December, But still something we should remember.
As we approach the Christmas Holiday, there seems to be some controversy concerning what we can say while wishing people a Merry Christmas. Some options have been considered; we could say Happy Holidays, or Merry X-Mas. There have been other new century slang's to celebrate Christmas, but those are the most popular. So, I'd like to address this crazy issue. I don't care if you want to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or whatever your religion may call this wonderful season, it doesn't matter. What does matter, is when you try to make me say your religion quote, and yet I'm forbidden not to. I, for one like to say Merry Christmas. You may want to say Happy Holidays. You can look at me weird, that's ok, because I guarantee I will look at you very, very weird. When we draw near to this great season, and begin celebrating it. We must remember what is important, and that is our Freedom. It does not make sense how certain groups can give us the freedom to whom we marry, the freedom to express ourselves by protesting in the nude, the freedom to hate on Christians, the freedom to abort our children but when it comes to the Christmas Holiday, the same groups find it offensive, and puts restrictions on what we can and can not say. Listen, if you don't want to say Merry Christmas, you don't have to. But don't put limits on what I can and cannot say.
So, what's next? Will they ban Santa's from saying "Ho-Ho-Ho?" Well, actually they have. In Australia the Government has banned all Santa's from saying "Ho-Ho-Ho" and they now must say "Ha-Ha-Ha." But it's better, the reason they must not say ho-ho-ho is because it offends a certain group of women, I'm not joking. That's when the hahaha comes into play :) So as we get closer to the Christmas season, and we get wound up in the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, don't forget about how our freedom of this season is being taken away slowly but surely. It's happened in many other places, don't let it come here.
