So Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Joyous fill-in-the-blank with whatever. It's still the most wonderful time of the year for some reason. Celebrate whatever you wish, or don't, it still is one of the merriest and happiest and joyous of X days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658580685156300777.post-47360684853228251922008-11-29T17:50:00.000-05:002008-11-29T17:50:00.000-05:00Excellent post & an even better response to Di...Excellent post & an even better response to Dirk. I disagree with Dirk on many issues, but he is a good guy --- misguided, but a good guy.<BR/><BR/>I am amazed that more people aren't aware that the Puritans AKA Congregationalists didn't celebrate Xmas. They didn't celebrate for many reasons but the fact is, they didn't. And yet the pseudo-history is that the Puritans had all That Baptist Ain't Righthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227307740155986353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658580685156300777.post-38624876805839704362008-11-29T16:59:00.000-05:002008-11-29T16:59:00.000-05:00Thanks for visiting New Echota many times.

At the bottom of that page of my blog you can see Coosa Bald. Without getting into a big argument, I respectfully disagree about the idea that there is some kind of plot to secularize our society.

Very interesting research you posted!<BR/><BR/>From my perspective, subsituting "Happy Holidays" throughout our society is a move to take Christ out of it. Most don't share your intentions.
