Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Still Boycotting Winter Holiday

I’m still boycotting the neopagan Winter Holiday, whatever that is.

For this next year, I’m taking it one step further. Listen up schools, businesses, and retail stores: Christmas is a federal holiday, an official United States holiday. If you can’t acknowledge that it’s Christmas, I want nothing to do with you. I will assume that you are not only antagonistic toward Christians but that you are unpatriotic as well. I plan on making a list and checking it twice, then posting it here.

Other religions are great, have at them. Feel free to to wish a Happy Hannnukah, Kwazy Kwanza, whatever you want. But if you exclude Christmas, I’ll exclude you.

    I actually declared war on Christmas, myself. I didn’t want to be seen as riding the fence. 😈

    Retailers aren’t interested in honoring or dishonoring Christmas, merely selling as much stuff to as many people as possible. If they can do that by making a big deal over the Feast of the Incarnation, they will. If they can do that by not saying the C-word, they will.

    Kyle, I know that saying “Merry Christmas” is a commercial way of pandering to Christians. I’d still rather have that than “bah humbug.”

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
