today is christmas; happy holidays to all.  i don't like what happened to the celebration of this holiday.  at sixty five years old i've seen it with my own eyes.  we have to be so careful.  we are told that we should say "happy holiday" and not merry christmas. i remember going to a school concert and no christmas trees were allowed because they somehow made some people uncomfortable.

It's unfortunate how people have to be so careful nowadays about mentioning Christmas. I know that it should be celebrated with caution due to its religious roots, but we need to make sure people of all religions can still celebrate the holiday. Christmas should be a celebration that brings families and friends together, and no one should be left out due to their faith or lack thereof. I, for one, want people to still be able to celebrate Christmas as a holiday regardless of religious beliefs. In a time when it appears that the true spirit of the holiday may be fading, we all need to make sure people can still come together during this joyful season.
