Christ in Christmas

Every year, and it has started, already, this year, people post that some are taking Christ out of Christmas. Good Lord! How is that even possible? It isn't. So what, if someone in a retail store says "Happy Holidays," instead of "Merry Christmas?"

There are many different religions, in the world, and in this country, There are many different religious holidays, many of which are around the same time as Christmas. As a former business owner, I understand greeting customers with "Happy Holidays" then you are covering any holiday they might be celebrating.

 Almost always, if you say Merry Christmas first, the store employee will respond with Merry Christmas. I admit, it is not always a sure thing, you may say "Merry Christmas," and get a "Happy Holidays" in return.

Personally, I don't, always, need to say "Merry Christmas" to every person I see. Seriously, do you really think that is taking Christ out of Christmas.

   

Trump

President Elect Trump, God, how I hate the sound of those words! But, he is our, soon to be, president. He ran such a hate filled campaign, insulting nearly everyone.

On Sixty Minutes tonight he was asked about his supporters attacking Muslims, and yelling insults at people. He acted concerned and said "That saddens me, that makes me sad." The man seems to forget that is how he ran his campaign. 

Well, time will tell what we are in for over the next four years. There is, already talk of impeachment, horrible thought, because the only thing I can think of worse than Trump being president, is Pence being president.

Oh, well, we shall see how we survive.
