Everytime my girl say's "Let's put up a tree" I end carrying a messy, needle dropping brush into the 2nd story of my home. "Let's put up some lights" I end up climbing a ladder and freezing digits off. Gotta love the season. Merry Christmas everyone!

Queen, the original post says "Jesus is the reason for the season." It did not say Jesus is the reason for the "Christmas Season." Clearly, Jesus is the reason for Christmas. My point was that people, who are not Christians, are celebrating the season too.
I wish everyone good seasonal tidings. |

I prefer not to take such a strict constructionist tact of interpretation. Jesus is the reason for the season" is a well known phrase most often associated with Christmas. Do a very small handful of Jews and Muslims in the US and UK celebrate Hanukkah and Eid, respectively? Sure, but the point is Christmas is the predominant holiday of the season. I am tired of people taking the balls out of Christmas.

When discussing the "holiday season" in America, its usually Christmas and there should not be a need to footnote the celebrations of every religious group when mentioning Christmas. It doesnt matter that we dont have a national church; we are a Christian nation.

BTW, although it has a nice ring to it, I never hear the expression "Jesus is the reason for the season" before and I still stand by my original comment that despite the nice rhyme, it is incorrect. |

Limits on the decisions that can be made by such majorities, such as constitutional limits on the powers of parliament and use of a bill of rights in a parliamentary democracy, are commonly meant to reduce the problem. The idea goes back at least as far as Plato's Republic, while the phrase itself originated with Alexis de Tocqueville in his Democracy in America (1835, 1840) and was further popularized by John Stuart Mill, who cites de Tocqueville, in On Liberty (1859); the Federalist Papers frequently refer to the concept, though usually under the name of "the violence of majority faction," particularly in Federalist 10. As long as we hold true to this fundamental precept of our democracy, we are not a Christian nation. The United States is a nation of minorities. It always has been and is more now than ever. The fact that the american population is predominently Christian does not make our country a Christan nation. |

I should point out that you incorrectly assume that "Jesus is my savior." I'm simply a Jewish guy who is exasperated with the pervasiveness of political correctness. |

Who would have thought that wishing someone a merry Christmas would be so very difficult. I may be in Texas, but I know that in Britain it is custom to say Merry Christmas. That's what the Brits do and they don't have a problem with it.
Merry Christmas, Jon.
