Where has Christmas gone?
I was in Wal-mart last Friday morning getting a few treats for a birthday at work. While I was waiting in line, their was a nice man in front of me who upon collecting his items turned around and wished me a Merry Christmas. I nodded back and wished him a Merry Christmas as well. The clerk at the register looked at the both of us, and told us that we were not allowed to say that in wal-mart. Feeling very frustrated and annoyed, I looked back at the man, and very loudly wished him another Merry Christmas. He smiled and winked and went on his way. The clerk who was now checking me out, would not look, or speak to me, all because the words Merry Christmas were spoken. When she was finished and I had paid, I politely wished and the people in line behind me a very Merry Christmas and went on my way.
As I drove back to work, I felt very angry about the events that had just happened. For one thing, Wal-mart is what like the busiest place during the Christmas season? They sell millions upon millions of Christmas toys, and clothes and Christmas dinners across the United states, and then they tell you not to say Merry Christmas in their store? Talk about a mixed message. And, with all of the millions of purchases, should they not know that there are more people than not who celebrate this holiday? I am not really the person who likes to talk about this kind of thing because it makes me very angry, and because I feel like it is a waste of breathe most of the time. But, I feel that it is time for me to share my feelings on the matter.
Christmas is an American Holiday, it is observed by our Country as a Holiday, they print it on our Calendars every year. Post offices are closed, and so are the banks. If we are not allowed to say Merry Christmas, then why do these facilities close in observance of Christmas? Well that is because the majority of the "citizens" of this country celebrate Christmas!! That is right, the MAJORITY celebrate Christmas. However, as usual, it is the minority who's voices are heard. Why? Why do we as the majority follow what a small group of fascist, liberal, nut-jobs? Why do we let them ruin what we have Celebrated since the birth of Christ?? Why do we let them tell us what we can and can not say? Why? It is a time old question, and I think that it is high time for the majority to stand up for their rights. Yes, it is the right of an atheist not to celebrate a Holiday that is supposed to be centered around Christ. But, is is also a right of a Christian to celebrate that very same holiday. It is the right for me to tell express my Christmas wishes to the next person in line, just as it is for that person to simply say Happy Holidays. Why must there be so much contention and misunderstanding. If a person wished me a Happy Hanukah, I would wish them the same back, I am not Jewish, but I would not be offended if someone were to wish me a Happy Hanukah. If someone said Happy Kwanza, great! All these wishes of merry-ment are because people believe in something. It is because people believe that we have these celebrations. If I wanted to wish someone a Merry Christmas, that would be my right as an American Citizen, and more importantly as a someone who believe in Christ.
I know that I am not going to change the course of our nations events with this blog, but I would like everyone to know that I BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS. And, I am going to say Merry Christmas to everyone, even if it is not the PC thing to do anymore. I believe in the miracle and the religious meaning of Christmas, and I am filled with joy to believe in such things. So...
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
