I hate "merry" Christmas.
 

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.

I get all testy because somebody has GOT to give the opposing view.

Just because some think they have the right to force their unholy version of
Christmas on me by wishing me a 'merry' Christmas and they expect me to go
along with their debasing the most important Christian celebration does not
mean I have to bear it silently.

oh, **** you, Gregory! The expression is old as dirt! In other parts
of the world "merry" is substituted by the word "happy". The meaning
is the same for Christians. why would they *not* be merry or happy
that the savior was born? huh?

as to the rest of your senseless diatribe, go **** yourself. if the
non Christians want to drink and eat themselves to death, let them! In
the mean time the Christians will be "merry" and "happy" in whatever
way they choose. Even most Amish celebrate the season with family and
friends with gatherings, feasts, and gift giving... some even decorate
Christmas trees!

so get a life and loosen up!

You missed the point. "Merry Christmas" is the preferred, non-believer,
politically correct greeting that marginalizes the true purpose of Christmas
which is celebrating the birth of the Christ. How about 'Joyous Christmas'
or better yet. 'Holy Christmas'.

Do you think the non-believers would ever accept and say those greetings? NO
they wouldn't because that would not further their non-believer agenda which
agenda substitutes gluttony and human-centric activities for a devout
expression of love and appreciation of God's ultimate sacrifice. We
celebrate the birth of the Christ because we know of His true purpose which
was to die on the cross so our sins might be forgiven. The birth of the
Christ is a wondrous thing only in the knowing about the death and
resurrection of the Christ. There is NOTHING merry about the birth, life and
death of the Christ, IMO. Non believers prefer 'merry' because it makes the
Christ out to be some kind of clown.

Please build yourself a time machine and go back a couple of thousand
years and tell Jesus NOT to turn that water and just leave it as wine.
There's just so much you could tell him...
