When did “Happy Holidays” become an anti-Christian sentiment?  Aren’t all of the holidays from God?  Growing up “Happy Holidays” was the shortened version of “Merry Christmas” and “Happy New Year”!  Certainly not like the “x” that takes Christ out of Christmas (most people lack the knowledge that can also be a tilted cross, therefore Christ is still there).  Why do Christians mandate that everyone and all stores greet with “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays”?  What message are we sending when we get fighting mad over a simple phrase.  Doesn’t actions speak greater than words?  Wouldn’t an expression of “Happy Holidays” full of love show more of God’s love than a “Merry Christmas” said out of spite or to “prove a point!  God is love.  God is here.  We are made in God’s image to love.  Are we being loving when we get hung up on phrases instead of what the phrases mean?  So the next time someone says “Happy Holidays” to you, can you try to remember the gift given to us that special night and the blessing of a new year.
