Christmas
The Christmas season is pretty much here. You see commercials with Christmas specials for stores and the shows on tv. Big Lots even has the elf thing going on. But does any commercial mention the true meaning of Christmas? No.
Christmas has become a sort of marketing tool for businesses and stores. Some places have stopped saying Merry Christmas, which is fine with me. I don't want my Saviour's birth to be a marketing tool. Other stores like WalMart went back to using it, because they lost business when they said Happy Holiday's last year. I think it's a smart move for stores to say Happy Holidays because it includes all the holidays in the season, not just ours. I mean there are those of the Jewish faith that shop as well, and other religions I don't know about.
Christ wouldn't want his birth to be a marketing scheme, and neither would he want us to neglect other religions. We are taught to be tolerant, not to isolate everyone.
Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Kwanzaa
Song of the Moment: White Christmas: Bing Crosby
May your days be merry and bright

Hey. I just happened to stumble across your blog using the Next Blog button. This post reminded me of a post that my pastor posted a while ago. I thought I would link to it, so you could read it. It kinda has the same concept. Here it is. Later.
