One news source reports that a few persecuted Christians gathered to commemorate their forbidden holiday.

quote:
Reports confirmed that many who had arrived in the hidden underground sanctuary immediately broke down in tears upon being greeted with the forbidden words “Merry Christmas,” a phrase none had heard spoken openly in years for fear of harsh reprisals.

I was pleasantly surprised when two Costco employees wished me Merry Christmas today.

There is no War on Christmas.

There is, however, a giant self-inflicted persecution by Christians on Christians.

Christmas was banned in early America because of it's traditions. Why would one get offended over someone saying Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas? Both are accurate.

frick you.

I go in this store every week and know the employees. It's true.

I don't have a problem with the company policy of saying Happy holidays so much as discipline those who say Merry Christmas

Many do that these days. They don't want to offend Jews or Muslims or Wiccans or atheists or other non-Protestants.

This has been going on for years.

Well, it's their company. Complain about it and move on, or stop giving them your money.

What I don't understand is the thought process of these people. Merry Christmas. Which implicates Christ came to walk with us so we could follow him. If you don't believe that you have no business doing anything that has to do with the holiday imo. Just fricking stay in your house the entire month of December and be a worthless piece of shite while the rest of us are rejoicing.
