Pretty sad that you have to legislate something we have been celebrating for many centuries....


Texas lawmakers: It's OK to say 'Merry Christmas' in schools now!

USTIN, TX (KTRK) --
Texas lawmakers are reminding people it's OK to say Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah in school now.

Last year, the Merry Christmas bill was signed into law. It allows people to celebrate religious holidays on campus.

"That allows parents, teachers, students and school administrators to celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah in public schools without fear of censorship, litigation or persecution," said Representative Dwayne Bohac, who co-authored the bill with State Rep Richard Raymond.

Religious scenes and symbols can now also be displayed on school property.

I was at a store in the mall yesterday and a person behind the counter said to a customer beside me "Merry Christmas". The customer responded "Thank you for saying that! You just made my day!" It made me happy and sad at the same time, that thanks to political correctness, we have to thank people for saying Merry Christmas.

The war against Merry Christmas is the biggest load of crap. You may find the odd troll here or there but in reality nobody cares. It's the seasonal focus of the Conservative false outrage machine. Just say whatever you want and be done it.

Yes political correctness is running rampant thought the land....I was reading some articles lately on political correctness and it is now called Cultural Marxism....

Yup - this is baffling - too much ado about nothing comes to mind. As stated above, say Merry Christmas and move on. Even those that don't believe in celebrating it have never been rude back - they understand the gesture.

I don't believe "jesus is the reason for the season" necessarily, and I say "Happy Holidays". Having said that, I am so NOT offended if someone says "Merry Christmas" to me. It all means the same thing - basically someone wishing you happiness!

I've found that those who most loudly insist on calling it CHRISTMAS, are the biggest consumers and only celebrate greed.

Happy Holidays to you and yours from us and ours.

Merry Christmas all! May you and your loved ones be blessed by the true meaning of the season, and not be buried by the commercialism.
