  Greetings, Prayer Nation. Elliot here to give you Part II of my Annual ChristmasTime Blog . Yesterday I was at the SPV prayer meeting and played along with Fred in front of a whopping 12 people .
Those of you who weren't there missed a big one, as it marked The Return of Tito Tom (good to see him back). He did bring up a very interesting point that suggests that we go against political correctness and wish Everybody this season a Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays , which somehow became the PC way of greeting people. I stopped to think about this, and I realized just how silly it really is to label Merry Christmas as un-PC. SO WHAT if you're Jewish, Muslim, Bhuddist, Scientologist, or Atheist and I tell you Merry Christmas , a greeting with a good-willed sentiment. If you find offense in something as harmless as that, then maybe you should consider the following: * If you have a job and you take a day off on Dec.25 while you accept Holiday pay from your employer. Or if you do work that day, but accept the time-and-a-half pay rate that's standard with working on holidays, then you are observing Christmas Day. Therefore Merry Christmas would be a valid greeting, regardless of your faith. * If you have experienced any of the joy that goes with the overall Christmas spirit, then Merry Christmas applies to you as well. A few examples; when you watch a Christmas themed movie or TV show and enjoyed it, when a previously estranged relative or friend gathers enough heart and courage to call you this time of year, or if you're a recepient of any random act of kindness.
* Even if the above mentioned points don't apply to you, keep in mind that Christmas Day is December 25. Therefore, at the very least, when someone says Merry Christmas they're basically just wishing that you Have a Nice Day on December 25. There's nothing wrong with that. Likewise, if a Jewish person says to me Happy Hanukkah I won't have any problem with that.
Hanukkah is eight days, and if someone wants to wish that those eight days would be GOOD to me, then let em. God forbid someone wishes for me to have eight BAD days! AGH! So with that said, have a Merry Christmas! [This is Part II of my ChristmasTime blog. Part I is in my main blogsite, which you can see by clicking urlLink here ]
