Holidays

As an other Holiday seaon winds down, I wonder if the country has completely and utterly lost it's mind over the issue of being politically correct. God forbid that anyone would dare to use the word Christmas. Last week, I was composing an email to send out to those who work for me and I thought, is it 'appropriate' to use the word Christmas any more. Are we permitted to wish people 'every blessing at this Christmas time'?

It strikes me that in our efforts to keep everyone happy we are giving up a lot. For me, it is a Christmas Tree, Christmas Day, Christmas Cards, Christmas Gifts, etc. Everyone knows he wasn't born on December 25th, but this was the day that was set aside to acknowledge and remember His birth.

You never know, given what Christmas has become maybe He would support the action of His name being removed from the season.
