is it “holiday”? or, is it Christmas?


Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11 NIV

Dictionary.com defines Christmas as: the annual festival of the Christian church commemorating the birth of Jesus: celebrated on December 25 and now generally observed as a legal holiday and an occasion for exchanging gifts.

Merriam-Webster states: A Christian feast on December 25 or among some Eastern Orthodox Christians on January 7 that commemorates the birth of Christ and is usually observed as a legal holiday. Etc…

Please, instead of “Happy Holidays” or “Seasons Greetings”, it’s “Joyous Christmas!” “Merry Christmas!”, “Glorious Christmas!”, “Majestic Christmas!” - you see what I’m saying. Good tidings to all!
