It is what it is
Every year it seems the debate over "Happy Holidays" vs. "Merry Christmas" gets bigger and bigger.
Boycotts are planned (seldom adhered to), PC henchmen are taking their places in the courts and on television, a spirit of division and name calling has taken its place as part of our nations annual Christmas celebration. Oops I said it.
It's called CHRISTMAS. It is a federal holiday called CHRISTMAS in the congressional record. You can believe what you want to believe, but it doesn't mean you aren't wrong. You can call it "The Holidays" if you want, but what exactly does the word HOLIDAY come from?
Thank goodness the Bible tells us that putting too much emphasis on such celebrations is futile (Galations 4:9-11).
HappyHolyDays! Merry Christmas - call it what it is. The day itself is not important.
What is important? The incarnation, the crucifiction, the resurrection, the ascension, and the return. Throw the calander away it doesnt matter if the return is today (I hope).
If you don't, Santa will have you on the naugty list.

Wow - my bro the blogger. Who woulda thunk?!? Maybe yours will last longer than each of my 3 incarnations. I tried to write on each one at least once a week but never made it past week 1. Oh well. I don't even know if they exist anymore.
Anyway, so far so good on yours. The references to Office Space and the Bible are great.

Happy Holy Days!
The santa stetson is getting a lot of attention at the office. You would think after 5 years of the same thing these folks would get used to it.
