Howdy Neighbor. Gotta warn you, I been in kind of what you might call a “Grinchy” mood lately. Ever since Halloween, most everywhere I go, sales clerks and cashiers have been told to wish everybody a “happy holiday”, not Merry Christmas. That there’s the problem. This here is the Christmas season. Christmas is our nationally recognized holiday. Always has been. But it seems there’s some folks among us that don’t like America for what it was and is. They want to change it. They invented politically correctness, saying we shouldn’t be offendin’ nobody.
So you say, “What’s wrong with that, Geez?” Well sir, first off, I ain’t got nothing against change. A tractor beats a horse any day. And I ain’t against being nice to folks either. Unless they’re up to no good, of course. But there’s more to it then what them political correct people let on. First off, it ain’t about offendin’ folks. It’s about greed, pure and simple. They just want to sell more stuff. Don’t matter none what the holiday or what the stuff is or where it come from. Just sell it. Make money.
Another thing about this politically correct thing is this: When you change the name of something, it don’t mean the same no more. If you don’t call it Christmas, then you don’t need to think about the reason for the season. If it ain’t the Christmas season, then it can be the selling season or the buying season or something else.
This country was based on Christian principles. Since the beginning, this here country has celebrated Christmas. The biggest part of us still do. We don’t celebrate buying season or any other season or day. If you wanta celebrate something else, move your butt to where they do that. We celebrate Christmas here!
Well, reckon I got that off my chest. I feel much better now. And I’d like to wish y’all a happy and holy Christmas!
