The Troubles of Christmas

Christmas is an awesome time of the year. There are cookies, presents, family time, and so much more. Christmas is especially a fun time when you are a kid, because as you get older it's not as fun anymore. The one thing about Christmas though, is they're trying to change it to happy holidays which I think it's bogus. It started out as the American tradition of saying Merry Christmas therefore I think it should stay that way. It's not fair for people from other countries to come over here and say it offends them. Well how about we go over to your country and say it offends us that you say Happy Holidays. Many countries have different ways of celebrating Christmas so why should we have to change how we celebrate it, because you don't like it. Christmas shouldn’t be how you say it that counts; it should be how you celebrate it that counts. Many countries celebrate it from traditions that date back to hundreds years ago, some spend the holiday on the beach and eating cold salad instead of turkey, some celebrate it for many days, some think magical things happen on Christmas Eve, some people celebrate it with festivals and parades. So I sit here and think why does it matter what we call it. We are all celebrating the same thing and that’s Jesus’ birthday. I think that people need to get over what it is called and start having fun. Christmas comes only once a year and we should all celebrate and quit worrying about stupid petty things
