MY DESK NEVER NEAT BUT ALWAYS FESTIVE.

Jamie, really again–yes again….

or rather Sam in a before Jamie commercial.

Today I’ve decided to rant: On A POLITICALLY CORRECT CHRISTMAS…..

First of all let me advise you that I hate, detest and abhor politically correctness. I am a full believer in living life to the fullest and that in my book is totally impossible if you’re constantly trying to live that life with out offending anybody including the most bias and unhappy beings on earth.

Now don’t get me wrong I have never been a rude or insensitive (or at least I’ve tried) person. I don’t push my beliefs (or lack there-of) in the face of others nor do I push persons that I know may be over-sensitive But saying that I refuse to let a crazy world, that is constantly insensitive unless they are censoring someone else, dictate what I say and do.

First of all a season that is based on Peace on Earth and Goodwill to man (and hopefully women) can’t be all bad. If you’re a Christian you must remember that you’re leader was a poster child for bad behavior per the Jewish society he grew up with–somehow cleansing the temple to me surely wasn’t a great idea from the establishment point of view. And while I don’t think that having manger scenes at big municipal buildings is a great idea as they don’t represent all the people who the government represents, I do not think that they should be banned in smaller towns about the country there they do represent the entire town.

Another thing that bothers me is when an office or business only allows vague Christmas décor but allows other (non-majority) religions to have full freedom to decorate and spot light their beliefs and traditions. It should be equal for all. Just because Christianity is in the mainstream in the US doesn’t mean that they should be restricted. Equal opportunity for all, or everybody keep it vague.

AND then there’s the atheists. I am not a religious person, most organizations are far too self-centered and too do what I say, not that I do to impress me. Again I do not feel that the government should push the practice of religious décor but other than that I again see nothing wrong with peace, love and getting really nice presents.

Some Christian religions don’t celebrate the holiday as it is based on pagan origins (25th is the birthdate of a Roman god; Holly dates back to ancient Druid festivals and so on–if you read my Blog regularly you’ll have noted a lot of those references.) . That is of course their right and hopefully they are not offended when others do believe or choose not to dig to deep into the origins of those practices.

So basically what I am trying to say is that I mean no disrespect if I say Merry Christmas cause to me its a wonderful reason to embrace my friends and family….give presents to people that have made me happy and those that I wish to apologize for not spending enough time with. It is not pushing religious beliefs, I know that the origins are misted like most of ancient history in the fables and people long past—I am a white, woman of Celtic (mostly Scot), heritage who was raised in a Christian home and though my beliefs and thoughts on most of this has been altered I have found and kept Christmas in my heart and there it shall stay and I do not apologize or wish to offend, it is a much a part of me now as my green eyes and crooked smile. And if I wish you a Merry Christmas I am wishing you all the happiness and warmth that I think of when I think of the day.
