What’s The Big Deal with Saying “Merry Christmas?”

December 22, 2014 Belinda Enoma Leave a Comment

what is wrong with saying merry christmasChristmas is a time for celebration and spreading love, joy, good tidings. In the midst of it all, let’s not forget the reason for the season.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6

I encountered someone a while back at the doctor’s office who was a bit uncomfortable and didn’t know whether to say (as I was leaving) “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays.”

I noticed her discomfort and I decided to help her out. I said, “You have a Happy Christmas now.”

She responded happily and with a huge smile, “Oh, Merry Christmas. I didn’t know what to say because I didn’t want to offend anybody.” That was an interesting situation.

Until I moved to the United States, I never knew people had issues with saying “Happy Christmas.” I was raised hearing “Merry Christmas, Happy Christmas” even from non-Christians.

What’s the big deal anyway? It’s either you celebrate it or you don’t.

What’s your take on this? Do you say ‘Merry Christmas, Happy Christmas or Happy Holidays?’


Let’s hear you! Post your comment below.
