I am tired of everyone being afraid of saying Merry Christmas
Sooo...
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,Merry Christmas,
For unto us is born a child which is Christ the Lord.
That is the true meaning of Christmas

Out of curiosity, if the true meaning of Christmas to honor the birth of
someone, will you be giving gifts to friends and family? Or will you be
giving the money you would have spent on gifts to the church instead? The
wisemen didn't run home and give gifts to their friends and family, they
gave it to the newborn.

Of course all of this assumes that Jesus was born in December and not some
other time of year...but since just about everything associated with
Christmas was borrowed from other cultures anyways. the true meaning of
Christmas has more to do with spending time with friends and family then it
does with any events in Bethlehem.
