I hate "merry" Christmas.
" Sir Gregory Hall, Esq." wrote in message
...
Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ so what's with this
'merry' crap?
The Online dictionary definition:
mer·ry
adj. mer·ri·er, mer·ri·est
1. Full of high-spirited gaiety; jolly.
2. Marked by or offering fun and gaiety; festive: a merry evening.
3. Archaic Delightful; entertaining.
4. Brisk: a merry pace.
It seems to me this 'merry' Christmas crap is just another way for
non-believers to take over and marginalize the true meaning of Christmas.
It seems to me Christ's birth should be celebrated with solemn thanks to
our Lord for giving his only begotten son that those who believe in Him
may have everlasting life.
Getting drunk on spirits and getting bloated on too much food is
debauchery. Is it proper to gives thanks to the Lord's ultimate sacrifice
by engaging in sinful behavior? Making Christmas all about human vices
seems to me to be very antithetical, blasphemous and sinful and no way to
get to Heaven.
You just HATE Christmas.
