Christmas

Is it still under attack?

 

Its December, and I'd like to know if I should be concerned.

Just came back from the Mall of America and I'm delighted to report that Christmas is very much alive and kicking, plus it's singing away like there's no tomorrow. Endless carols and other Christmas ditties, massive decorated fir trees, more lights than a stick could be shaken at - yep, reports of the demise of Christmas are premature.

Hey BeeR, perhaps you could break this down for me.

 

We've always bought a tree, put lights on it and presents under it. Listened to Christmas carols and then, on either the 24th or 25th, invited friends over and crushed a big roast while pounding champagne. You could say, we celebrate "Xmas". However, according to some Christians, that's diluting and defiling a holiday intended to honor the birth of Christ. After all, there is nary a prayer or anything religious about our celebration. It's the religious equivalent of calling facial tissue Kleenex, when it's really not. So, out of respect to others, perhaps I should stop celebrating "Christmas".

 

So, next thing you know, my wife and I are walking down the street and we pass by a jovial BeeR and his wife. BeeR, full of holiday cheer, issues a hearty "Merry Christmas!". Me, newly mindful not to bastardize the holy day, reply with what should be a more appropriate response from an infidel such as myself and say, "Happy Holidays!".

 

Now, BeeR's wife has to, yet again, endure his grumbling about all this PC crap and why everyone is so damned afraid to say "Christmas".

 

What is an infidel to do?

 

I'd ask Savage Beatings, but since you've already established he doesn't know dick about religion, I figured you'd be the guy to answer this.
