I too have people who celebrate other Holidays, and I am happy to say to them Happy Kwanza, Happy Chanukah, etc...but I also want "MY HERITAGE" to be counted JUST as importantly! The problem we have NOW is due to the majority, (Christians) trying to keep "Peace" with a minority. For FAR too long, we have been standing silently by and accepting whatever the OTHER religions complain discriminate against their religions. We are being STRIPPED of our religious freedoms, via our OWN AMERICAN Government!!<br /><br />The few who take "OFFENSE" to our declaration that Christ's Birthday be celebrated as CHRISTmas, have been GIVEN the POWER to enforce their will, all because of Christains remaining "SILENT".<br /><br />If that is a little too blunt and to the point for some, then oh well. I am an AMERICAN, born into a country FOUNDED on Christain principles, and I for one intend to lift my voice to say, NO!! I WON'T compromise! I'll respect the religions of others, and wish them the happiest of "whatever it is they are celebrating", but I WILL NOT say Happy Holidays and leave out the TRUE reason for the CHRISTMAS season! <br /><br />Oh, and for the record, the word "HOLIDAY" is derived from HOLY DAY!!! I intend to keep Praising HIM, and lifting HIS NAME forever; refusing to let the rocks cry out in my place! <br /><br />No Hate here, just a STAND for what WE as Christians (Little Christs) believe also! If enough of us would stand our ground instead of allowing our religious freedoms to be taken away from us<br />1 by 1, while we silently stand by and say nothing; they wouldn't be TAKEN AWAY!! <br /><br />To those who vow to be Politically Correct, I say, "take a look back in the history books!" I'm sure they will see once and for all, who was worshipped FIRST in AMERICA, and who will CONTINUE to be worshipped forevermore!!!! Our predecessors gave ALL...their very LIVES to give us the FREEDOMS we enjoy, and our rights we are giving up little by little. What would they say to us if they could??? To ALL of them it cost SOME, and for SOME of them, it cost ALL!!! They shed their innocent blood so that you and I could live free in the greatest country anywhere on earth! <br /><br />Peace to all, ESPECIALLY the CHRISTAINS who dare to take a stand for Christ!!<br /><br />Blessings to ALL!!!<br />CyndiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561388898364757356.post-14432062797228988762011-01-12T20:04:15.426-05:002011-01-12T20:04:15.426-05:00NO, by golly you aren't crazy Margie!

Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, Winter Vacation instead of Christmas Vacation in schools, CE instead of AD in school books ... but many school districts make special accommodations for moslem students regarding PE and the month of Ramadan.
