What is a holiday tree anyway? Should I say “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays?”

Should I only sing holiday songs of the season that don’t mention God? Is Christmas just another holiday equal with Kwanza, Ramadan, Vesak and Festivus (from Seinfeld)? Is Jesus Christ the Son of God, fully God and fully man, part of the Trinity?

The real question is not whether you should or should not say “Merry Christmas,” or whether or not to celebrate a traditional American Christmas with a Christmas tree and nativity scene, but rather, what do you believe about Jesus Christ? Because what you do with Jesus sets up your destiny both now and eternally.

Thank you. Merry Christmas and God bless America.
