Lets Keep Merry Christmas..

I am sick of the "Political Correctness" and the fear of offending people. This is done at the expense of offending us, the people that celebrate Christmas. We are slowly being stripped of our traditions. An end to it I say. Our children can't sing "O Canada" in schools or "The Lords Prayer" My own children lost the right to have their "Halloween Parade" at school after years of this tradition at the 80 year old school. That was not 'til after they changed the name to "Black and Orange Day Parade" This group is NOT about Santa Claus or the sickening commercialism of Christmas. This is about our right to say Merry Christmas and celebrate Christmas in our own traditional ways. A fool takes offence when no offence was intended. Just say "Merry Christmas" to everyone and love everyone no matter what their beliefs are. It is a happy wish for everybody. Together we can turn this around. To put things into perspective for you of the importance of subjects to fellow Face Bookers, they got 2,266,737 members to try to change back to the old Face Book. I would hope that Christmas, the Christ Child and our Life long Christmas Traditions are a lot more important to all of us. Lets get some members!!! This is vastly more important than the "Old face Book" Please invite all your friends. If we get one million members then that is one million people that can spread the word. Save our right to celebrate Christmas and say Merry Christmas. Please share some of your Christmas memories and traditions with the rest of the group. God Bless and have a Merry Christmas!
