A few days ago I received an email saying you can not steal my Christmas, since then everywhere I go I say that to anyone I run into. The response has not only been surprising great but also very heart warming, I find that so many people are fed up with creeps trying to steal our Christmas that they immediately chime in with their scorn for those that do not share our wonderful and yes religious holiday! Even my friends of other faiths say we all should protect and enjoy our sacred holidays no matter what faith.

So please where ever you go say you can not steal my Chrsitmas, you will see it will make you feel very good!!!

Phil, When we were going through security at the airport last weekend, the TSA guy said "Merry Christmas" and I thanked him for recognizing it WAS Christmas and not "Happy Holiday". He smiled and said "you're right"

Nice to know some people still get it.

Da Taz<---Merry Christmas

I say Merry Christmas only to those I know are celebrating Christmas. I am aware that many people celebrate Chanukah (some of my family members are Jewish) and I have friends of the Muslim, Buddhist faith etc. To them I say Happy Holidays or Happy Chanukah. I don't assume everyone celebrates the same holiday I do so I try to be as fair as possible :)

I say what I celebrate (Christmas), and I am not offended by others who say what they celebrate to me. It's simple really. If they are offended by me celebrating a Merry Christmas then they really need to lighten up some since there are too many other things in the world to worry about than that.

Noone has every said anything to me if I said Merry Christmas. They don't get offended that quickly. It's purely my choice to say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas. My son is half jewish so I tend to keep it in the middle :)

Merry Christmas, happy Kwanza, Shalom, what ever. To each his own. Around this time I wish I was atheist just so I wouldn’t have to out up those G.D. lights in the cold just to take them back down in the cold. But I do have a question.
Why do they attack one part of many religions ie; Christmas, but yet want another part (the term “marriage” not just the rights) so damn bad people will march in the streets? This part’s good, that part’s bad. If you don’t like it move on to something else and leave me alone.
I mean we show our diversity by putting up roads signs and giving drivers licenses tests in Spanish so people wont even have to learn the language of this country but god forbid if you happen to celebrate a different holiday then the guy next to you because some how it has become offensive.
What the hell is happening to this country?
I mean what’s next? Little Italy, downtown will have to become “Little Europe”.
