The War on Christmas

Hello everybody, it’s Mr Contrarian here. I’d like to take a moment to air out my grivances with the “War on Christmas.”

I say happy holidays at the office, at the gym and at the beer and wine. Not because I’m oversensitive, a politician or a Jesus hating zealot. I say happy holidays because I’m considerate. That doesn’t change the fact that I have a Christmas tree up in my house, and that I tell my kids we’re celebrating Christmas. I sing Christmas songs, and even sang Happy Birthday Jesus over breakfast yesterday. No really, I did.

But if you’re of the offensive type and feel as though Christmas is being assaulted I ask you: “Who put the presents under your tree?” If you tell your kids it was Santa, your either an idiot or a liar. You can’t claim there is a war on Christmas when you don’t make an effort to make Christmas about Christ in your own home.

If there had been a war on Christmas, Santa Clause won. Shut up and enjoy your family. Open presents if you’re lucky enough to have received them, be thankful if you were lucky enough to have given them.
