I'm sick and tired not only of Bill O'Reilly and John Gibson's fake war on Christmas... but mostly about Bill's joy when Macy's (a Jewish owned company) aired a commercial with somewhat scantily clad dancing girls -- but included the word Christmas twice.
As a Christian, nothing proclaims Jesus's love to humanity better than rampant commercialism of his birthday {end sarcasm}. I would actually rather the companies avoid using Christmas, since I see the commercialism of the holiday as the actual 'War on Christmas' if there is one at all.
Christmas trees mean nothing to me religiously, to me they are a part of the secular part of the holiday, and thus I don't mind them being called holiday trees. As, obviously, so did Fox News with their "holiday ornaments" for their "holiday tree" before they got labeled as hypocrites and later changed it. Another good note is a recent Fox News Poll: where even among Fox News watchers (with internet access) more people think there is NOT a war on Christmas (48% to 42%).
I just wish that everyone would follow my very simple holiday guidelines: If I don't know which holiday a person celebrates, I wish them happy holidays. If I know they are a Christian, I wish them a Merry Christmas. If I know they are a Jew, I wish them a Happy Hanukkah...likewise with Kwanzaa, winter solstice or whatever they celebrate.
As long as you don't RESTRICT someone from actually celebrating their chosen holiday, you are not attacking their holiday, and you shouldn't have a problem with fools like O'Reilly, Gibson, and Fox News.

great thoughts! I applaud!
You're right. I hate it when they make too much commercialism on holidays.
Also, to me a Christmas tree is something that pertains to the holiday. I don't think its supposed to be regarded as something religious.
How's it going? I miss this site.
How does a war on Christman play out? How do you even wage such a thing?
hello
God bless you bro
hope you get better!
in his arms
