The term "Merry Christmas" nearly gone? Hardly.

But its use certainly depends on one's -- or a group of ones' -- perspective and willingness to share that, as Wal-Mart found from its ridiculousness of Christmas 2005. The Apostle Paul said he wasn't ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. If enough of those who call themselves Christians would conduct themselves likewise, especially at Christmas, perhaps "Merry Christmas" would be spoken in even more places, not fewer.

Meanwhile, the more secularists, relativists, liberals and other politically correct species try to suppress "Merry Christmas," the more it -- and, thus, Christ -- is discussed publicly. That intolerant and hostile crew, fearful of God, makes the same mistake that the princes of the world did when they crucified Christ: They thought they'd gotten rid of Him. We need to pray that the true spirit of Christmas overtakes them, tongues, minds and all.

p>As for their current influence in our society, it's directly proportional to the ignorance and lack of spine exhibited by public officials and the judiciary, as well as the general cowardice of the public to stand up to those officials, the PCs and an unfriendly, bigoted mainstream news media and shout, "Enough of this tripe!" br> -- C. Kenna Amos br> Princeton, West Virginia /p> p> Re: Happy Holidays. I am surprised that even this greeting has survived the secularist onslaught. It is after all a exhortation that one's "holy day" be happy. How is there any "holy day" allowed in are anti-religious culture. br> -- Roger Thompson /p> p> You give up too easily. Some of us fought back and made Wal-Mart etc. respect our dollars. We will keep up the fight. This greeting business is just the camel's nose under the tent. You gotta put a stop to them. Did you see where that modern day Dr. Mengele (Tiller) in Kansas is finally being hailed into court. Never, never give up. br> -- Annette Cwik
