We started talking about the Christmas...err...HOLIDAY season yesterday and all of the politics that go into it.
Yesterday, I consulted last year's World Almanac (that I keep in the can for effective reading)
Get these stats on America's religious breakdown:
85% of Americans are Christian
2% are Jewish
4% are other
10% don't have a religion
Based on this, WHY ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO PREVENT CHRISTMAS FROM DOMINATING THE HOLIDAY SEASON LIKE IT ALWAYS HAS????
85% of the country celebrates the birth of Jesus on December 25th and celebrates Christmas trees, Nativity scenes, Santa Clause, Frosty, stockings over the fireplace, presents, caroling, and everything else that is associated with Christmas.
Based on these facts, why should I have to stop saying Merry Christmas or calling the next month Christmas Season???
Oh yeah…Mr. Hankey wears a Santa hat so he’s included in this too…
So from me to you:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
