Tidings and Joy

Seems to be a lot of angst out there about Christmas celebrations.
~
Why can't we all just get along?
~
Christmas might have started as a religious holiday, but now it has evolved into a wholly secular celebration of   "Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Men".
~
Santa has nothing to do with Jesus... nor do pine trees in our house, pagan wreathes, and decorating our homes with electric light bulbs.
~
If you want Jesus out, it's already been done. But let's keep Santa. He transcends the religious dogma.  And we really should try to keep all of that "Joy" stuff.    How can that hurt anybody?
~
If you want to add Jesus back in (as I do), that's a personal decision.

Seasons Greetings.
