I’m not feeling very Christ like this year.
I guess I should have seen it coming, with all the bitching, whining and complaining going on amongst all the different Christian sects this year. All I hear is “We need to take back Christmas from being commercial.” “We should insist that people say ‘Merry Christmas’ as opposed to Happy Holidays.”
Well, lets get something straight here. Christ’s birthday was not, and never will be, on the 25th of December. Just like the date of his death, Easter, is never on the same day.
And, for you non Christians………IT”S A HOLIDAY PEOPLE! It’s not different than putting up a piñata for a kid’s birthday. Not different than a flag on the 4th of July. So, get over Nativities, get over Kwanza signs. If you don’t want to hear about Christmas, then stop trying to make money off of it, in your businesses.
And, for you Christians, you don’t have they patent on GOD. GOD was being worshiped thousands of years prior to the birth of Christ. So, YOU get over trying to make Dec 25th a religious holiday, when you can’t even get the dates right.
So, have a Happy Holiday this month and check in, with the Russian Orthodox Church.
They at least make an effort to get Christ’s birthday right!
