Taking down the Merry Christmas signs

We will soon start taking down the Christmas tree and lights.  

For me, and the overwhelming majority, it is and will always be Merry Christmas.

We are a Christian society. In the latest poll, most of us are “Christian”. They didn't have to answer that way but they did.

We have a Judeo-Christian heritage in our society. We see its influence on our laws.

Most of us celebrate Christmas and Easter, the two key Christian festivals.

Take Christ out of Christmas is silly.  It is like pretending that you can celebrate Christmas without any acknowledgment of the profound religious origin and power of the festival.

So Merry Christmas.

What we celebrate is the birth of Christ not some winter holiday.
