SAYING MERRY CHRISTMAS IS VOGUE AGAIN

Yes people at the stores are saying Merry Christmas and not just Happy Holidays. Nice to hear. It is the Christmas season, isn't it. In Canada we do celebrate diversity but it is okay to say Happy Kawnazaa, Happy Hanukkah, celebrate Nooraz in the Spring, Diwali and whatever comes along. So Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone, well at Christmas and New Year!

By being wished a Merry Christmas from a non-Christian is really diversity. Everyone has a special holiday which is really a Holy Day so saying the real day has more meaning. When it is another special celebration it is not expected that someone for example celebrating HOLI in the Hindu faith in March have to wish a Merry Christmas so why at Christmas do these other celebations need to be mentioned. Why not just celebrate each one uniquely? Chinese New Year is different than the regular one so leave it at that! Celebrate both! Fun and food come with most faith days!! Learning about others at the significant time really has more meaning anyway!! So Christians everywhere, during the year wish others a Happy whatever it is and at Christmas, do not shy away from a Merry Christmas to one and all. If lucky those from other faith groups may get a present or two and even be invited to a good festive dinner!! What are your thoughts?
