It's CHRISTMAS!
There comes a time when, as Christians, we must keep our
convictions and *"be not ye afraid" to tell it like it is.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS" vs. "HAPPY HOLIDAYS"
Someone wishes you "Happy Holidays".
Okay, so what "holidays" are they talking about?
Others might call them "Winter Holidays".
Now what "holidays" are they referring to?
Isn't it a nice "Holiday Season"?
So, what is the "holiday" in this "season"?
Does anyone wish you a "Happy Holiday" on Valentine's Day?
Maybe on the 4th of July? What about Memorial Day?
Take a listen to this updeat song by the Go Fish Guys
titled "It's Called Christmas With a Capital C".
(And if it makes you tap your foot, that's all right too!)
(Link to YouTube)
Here are the lyrics to the song:
Well I went to the coffee shop to get myself a Mocha,
The lady at the counter said "Happy holidays";
I said, "Thanks lady, I am pretty happy,
But there’s only one holiday that makes me feel that way."
It’s called Christmas, what more can I say?
It’s about the birth of Christ
and you can’t take that away.
You can call it something else,
but that’s not what it'll be.
It’s called Christmas with a capital "C."
God's got a law and we pretty much destroyed it.
We’re gonna get judged, there’s no way to avoid it.
But Jesus came down to take the punishment for me.
He did it for you too, so now maybe you can see . . .
Why It’s called Christmas, what more can I say?
It’s about the birth of Christ
and you can’t take that away.
You can call it something else,
but that’s not what it'll be.
It’s called Christmas with a capital "C."
It’s called Christmas!
(oh, yes we want to say happy holidays because we don’t want to
leave anybody out, really, how come there’s a ton of holidays in
February - nobody ever says happy holidays in February, do they?
They say what it is, “Happy Valentines- OOH do you believe in love?”)
It’s called Christmas!
(but nobody wants to say Christmas, everything else but Christmas. Why?
I know why, you do too, it’s because it’s got Christ in it and after two
thousand years he’s still intimidating people. You see when a religious
person says “I am the way” people don’t wanna hear it - they don't!)
It’s called Christmas!
(I say you gotta say Merry Christmas cuz it is! And if you don’t believe in it,
fine, but I got a flash for you, Christianity happens to be the religious
heritage of my country whether you like it or not.)
It’s called Christmas!
(so if you’re not a Christian or you don’t like it, and you don’t want Christmas
celebrated, God Bless You, but let me tell you something. If you think you’re gonna stop me from sayin it because it offends you, I gotta flash for you.
Put a helmet on, it’s my country too.)
It’s called Christmas, what more can I say?
It’s about the birth of Christ
and you can’t take that away.
You can call it something else,

Besides "calling it like it is", another thing we can all do to
support our belief is to be aware of the stance specific major retailers around the country have taken on this subject. And remember that this does not have to apply only during the
Christmas season, but it can work all year long.
of nationally-recognized companies who have taken
a stance on this topic, one way or another, to include
some that remain somewhat "neutral".
