I am so put off with PC and the "green" lifestyle but let me just add that I do practice SOME greenism at home it just does not consume me.  I digress.  I went grocery shopping after picking up the boys from school and we ran in to Tucker's former teachers, a mother and daughter.   There we were in the middle of the walkway catching up and introducing my new baby and as we departed, from my lips I utter the words, "I hope you have a great holiday."

WHAT THE ????  Did I just say "holiday?"  Utterly disgusted I chastised myself all the way back to my car.  IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!  I can't believe I just PC'd CHRISTMAS!!!  UGH!!!!  I have fallen into the trap.

I don't care that it was a pagan holiday eons ago this is the time of year chosen to recognize the birth of CHRIST our Savior.  God's ultimate plan unfolds and the plan for salvation was set in motion.

"Let's not offend..."  You have the right to be offended.  I'M offended that I have to walk on egg shells as not to offend those who don't celebrate the holiday.  

I was listening to NPR, not by choice, but the alarm went off and a Jewish woman was expressing her culture shock of the American Christmas after living in Israel for the past 7 yrs.  "Christmas was a big party I wasn't invited to..."  Do other non-celebrators feel the same way?

So MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone and if the shoe doesn't fit then please, don't be offended you don't HAVE to celebrate it but I'm going to.
