Happy Birthday Jesus

[jcb]

People have been saying "Happy Holidays" for decades, but recently people have started complaining about it. Why is that? They started doing it because there are two holidays in close succession, Christmas and New Years, and that's what i'm thinking about when i say it, mostly. There's no reason to be offended by people saying "Happy Holidays," it's not any dig against Christmas. Do people complain when you say "Merry Christmas?" I certainly don't, even though I'm not a Christian. It's somebody wishing me happiness and joy, and I appreciate that, whether or not I share their beliefs. And that's what people are doing when they say "Happy Holidays," too. This whole "war on Christmas" thing exists only in people's imaginations.

I'm a Christian and I agree with you. We complain about "kicking God out of our schools" because that's a lot less messy than asking ourselves if we've kicked God out of our lives.
