It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, and my “brothers and sisters” are already starting to get riled up. They are angry and suited up for battle. They are ready to reclaim what is rightfully theirs and they are fully prepared to win this war— that nobody else even realizes has been declared. Oh, if you ask my “brothers and sisters” they would say the other side fired the first shot and now the Christian community has had enough. What is this war? That’s right folks. The stores are using the phrase “Happy Holidays.” How dare they try to make a profit at the end of the year by drawing in Hanukkah shoppers or attempt to make a couple of bucks off of Kwanzaa! How dare they be so inclusive in the name of staying in business. My brethren are, quite frankly, pissed off and have vowed not to do their Christmas shopping at any store that has a sign that reads anything other than “Merry Christmas.” Because Christmas is about stores and shopping and merchandise. It’s all about presents underneath a tree. It’s about good, old fashioned American consumerism and part of that high Holy tradition is the phrase “Merry Christmas!” Bah Humbug! |
