With political correctness still plaguing our Nation, I have struggled this year with whether I should wish people a bawdy and perhaps daring “Merry Christmas” or play it safe with a simple “Happy Holidays.” I am told that wishing people a “Merry Christmas” may be offensive to some but I guess I am not completely sure why. The person offering the “Merry Christmas” does so without any malice or hostile foam from the mouth, no it is quite the opposite; it’s merry. Non-Christians are ready to admit that yes there is a day on the calendar called “Christmas.” The popular statement, “have a Merry Christmas,” even to the Non-Christian should merely (and merrily) be taken as kind hearted wish to enjoy the day.
Currently, Christmas in America does mean more than just a day on the calendar. In fact, it is a day we Americans commemorate the gifts we have received. Whereas Christians celebrate the gift of Jesus, others can celebrate regardless of religious belief or background. In our American culture, Christmas is day that we all honor the gifts we have received despite of where we think those gifts may have come from.
Whether you believe gifts come directly from God, pure happenstance, or somewhere in between, we have all received gifts (or dare I say “blessings”) that added significantly to our lives. We Americans are blessed.
Even in the toughest times and the most dreary days, we have received gifts. As matter of fact, we probably receive the most valuable ones in the hardest of times. Gifts such as the love of friends and family, unexpected help and kindness from unforeseen places, radiant laughter and even our own lives are just a few of the gifts that come to mind. Each new day is gift. A day that can be filled with hope and joy. The gift of the opportunity a new day brings. A day that we can act on those long harbored thoughts of what our life could be. The insight and motivation a day can bring when we reflect back on our accomplishments and achievements. I sincerely appreciate waking up this morning as another gift full of promise.
Bob Proctor likes to say, “God’s gift to you is more talent and ability than you can use in a life time. Your gift to God is to use those gifts.” To me, one of the true meanings of Christmas is to reflect upon the numerous gifts I have been given and even more importantly put them to good use. Perhaps this is why we give each other gifts.
So it is in this spirit, I wish you all the most Merry of Christmases!

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exists, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. editorial in the New York Sun, 1897, responding to a letter from 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon |
