I hit “like” on this post last week. I have reflected on it as I rode the bus. I reflected on it during my evening walks. I have reflected. You are welcome to have your traditions. I am welcome to practice mine, to share my greetings and beliefs without retaliation or fear because I am a Christian.
I will continue to wish all a “Merry Christmas” as I wear my Santa hat and without it. I am proud to be a Christian. I expect you not to change me by saying, "Happy Holidays." I expect you not to change my faith. I expect you will learn about me, and I will learn about you. Where is the conversation?
How can you say that I MUST water down my journey to walk with you on yours? I have celebrated other faith traditions, and I am respectful of them. I learned about Kwanza last year, and the list goes on and on.
Respect each others’ holiday traditions. You do not have to embrace all aspects of other’s beliefs. Learn about others’ faith. Be accepting.
And Merry Christmas!
