NO! IT'S MERRY CHRISTMAS

Tom and I received a Christmas ecard with the following message:

"First Christmas is not Happy Holidays.  It is Merry Christmas."

Alrighty.

Blah, blah, blah...accompanied by Christmas carols.

"So when someone says Happy Holidays, correct them by saying NO.  It's Merry Christmas."

The ecard is didactic from the first words.  Then the words that follow, complete with Scripture references, give a "historical" account of the  birth of Jesus.  So, if a person should happen to make a friendly gesture and wish us "Happy Holidays",  we are to say "NO" and correct them...all in the spirit of the season of peace and good will.  Nevermind the good wishes; give that person a lesson.

The final scene is a PC Santa Claus wishing us a proper Merry Christmas.

IT'S STILL CHRISTMAS

The Nativity set made by my mother a good many years ago in a ceramics class

Behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
