I get so sick of Evans and even Trump who say there is a "War on Christmas ". The later years when I sent out cards (as you know that is a dying era) , I had to get different ones for my husbands business associates and the unreligious people we know, and our families ( yes a few would get upset if they did not get a religious card).
I find it more appropriate to say Happy Holidays now. Why, because we are suppose to be a country where we have freedom of religion, and I should say, many who use to be religious are now agnostic and or atheists. (admit it)
If one has kids and they are Christians they need to celebrate, and we do buy gifts for the grandkids, but that is it.
the grandkids are spoiled rotten, and when we never know what to get them. I want to tell them we are donating their gifts to Toys for Tots, but that would go over like ,What the heck !!!
I also think Freedom of Religion includes , freedom from religion. At this point I can skip Christmas and even New Years, and I am so sick of Christmas stories on TV unless they are comedies.
I have become a happy scrooge and I want to stay that way, so please do not think I'm missing anything.
