I say Merry Christmas

OK.  I am getting very confused.  I just heard that Lowe's decided to start calling their Christmas trees "holiday" trees.  Other companies have ordered employees to greet customers with "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas."  I was looking for a hand towel for my bathroom recently and could not find ONE SINGLE towel that said "Merry Christmas."  ALL of them said "Happy Holidays."  Well, guess what?  I celebrate Christmas.  Just because someone else doesn't, does that mean I have to be denied a "Christmas" tree and things that say "Merry Christmas?"  85% of this country celebrates Christmas, but it is no longer PC to use the word "Christmas" due to the fact that we may "offend" someone? This country was founded on Christianity, but we can no longer celebrate "Christmas" as we know it for fear of "offending" someone?  What is wrong with this picture??  At my house we have a Christmas tree.  And even though I can't find hand towels that say it, I still say............................................

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You go girl!!  

I'm going to work on getting that entry up, even if it kills me!  I will probably lose alot of readers, but I have to say what I feel.  I don't wish to offend anyone, but if it does.. then it does.  I believe in exactly what I say in my side bar, "Say what you mean, and MEAN what you say, because those that matter, don't care, and those that care.. don't matter!"  I live by that!

Hugs,
