Why Christmas is No Big Deal
I have to say I am a little bit tired of the word Christmas. I'm even more annoyed at people who try to make me feel guilty about NOT using the word Christmas as though there was something inherantly magical and powerful about the word. While it is true that it is not politically correct to wish perfect strangers a Merry Christmas I can't say I disagree with being politically correct in this case. After all, how can I claim to love my fellow brother or sister and not be sensitive to whether or not I am offending them? If I was seeking to meet the needs of someone without legs would I not be viewed as a heartless, insensitive, jerk to give them a pair of shoes? Why would I want to hold so strongly to the word Christmas at the risk of offending someone.
