We can finally say Merry Christmas again

Secular Christmas decorations irritate me. Christmas is a Christian holiday.

Why does it irritate you? Do you get irritated when people celebrate foreign holidays too?
Do you get irritated by someone placing a Toran over their door?

Secular Christmas decorations irritate me. Christmas is a Christian holiday.

How do you think the pagans felt when their Yule midwinter solstice was hijacked?

The word 'Jolly' originates from Yule.
Holly-Day was Jolly-Day.
Yule-hole is the name given to the hole on the belt where it is slackened to, after the Yule feast.
Evergreen trees, feasting and licentious behaviour. All are pagan.

Don't even think about 'kissing' under the mistletoe.

How do you know when they are in season?

I have my ways.

Seriously ironic that words that christians freak out about were words their religion originated

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word is derived from the “Old English hāligdæg, from hālig holy + dæg day.” Literally speaking a “holiday” is a “holy day.”

Historically this always referred to specific holy days in the Christian liturgical calendar, Christmas being one of the highest holy days of the year.

Abbreviations used as Christian symbols have a long history in the church. The letters of the word "Christ" in Greek, the language in which the New Testament was written, or various titles

for Jesus early became symbols of Christ and Christianity. For example, the first two letters of the word Christ (cristoV, or as it would be written in older manuscripts, CRISTOS) are the Greek letters chi (c or C) and rho (r or R). These letters were used in the early church to create the chi-rho monogram (see Christian Symbols: Christmas Ornaments), a symbol that by the fourth century became part of the official battle standard of the emperor Constantine.

Trump posted nearly 200 times on the 25th, including this gem. Obviously a stable mentality (thinks like a donkey) who calls himself a 'Sleazebag'.

Not much time left for visiting friends & relatives, giving gifts, spreading cheer, celebrating the anniversary of the birth of his Lord & Saviour, trying to memorize at least one verse of his autographed gold-painted Bible...

Merry Christmas to all Nigerians.
