Merry Christmas to one and all. Christmas is of course the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If you have time, you might take a look at the American Thinker's Olivia Murray who has penned a post entitled Politico reporter rages against 'far right' for claiming Christmas as a holiday for Christians. She links to the article, which can be found here.
Despite what Hannah* Roberts may believe, we have had a war on Christmas for at least the last 30 years. I remember as a child that at Christmas time, everyone wished everyone else "Merry Christmas." Oh, there have always been Scrooges, but most people were generally glad to wish everyone else a Merry Christmas. Nativity scenes were set up even on public property. It was our culture, back when we were allowed to have a culture of our own. Which is why there has been a war on Christmas.
The Left, now aided by Islamist, want to burn our culture to the ground so they can install totalitarianism. But Christmas is a holiday for Christians. It is not about gifts, though the reason we give gifts is because we have been given the greatest gift of all. It's not about lights, though He shown the brightest light of all to the world. It is about God coming into history and becoming man, living with us in real time. God has shown us that he is not like the pagan gods, removed from mankind, but intimate and available to those who believe and trust in Him. Murry has it correct:
The mainstream can’t stop platforming SHOEs—Stupidest Humans On Earth—but what’s new?
Merry Christmas everyone!* Hannah, by the way, is the name of the mother of the prophet and judge of Israel Samuel. He was the last judge and anointed the first king of Israel Saul. Saul's successor, David, was a man after God's own heart and was the progenitor of Jesus. I wonder if Hannah Roberts knows the distinguished name she carries?
