"And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:5- 11 KJV)
December 25 is not the celebration of the birthday of an individual named "Happy" last name "Holiday". No his/her name is not "Happy" with a last name "Holiday". I have a guy friend name "Happy" and I was blessed to have a school mate, a girl name "Happy" too. But not one of them are celebrating December 25 as their birthday. You may know of someone with the same name and the birth date fall on the 25th of December, but one thing for sure- the last name could not be "Holiday".
If your name is "Happy" and you were born on December 25 at any year; let me know and I'll send you a copy of one of my books (signed) as a gift. Go to www.ely-roque-sagansay.com to claim your gift. You have to prove by your birth certificate or driver license. My point is, people will greet you "Happy Holiday" because they want to point you to the observance of the season and not to the Object or the reason of the season. They are pointing you to the calendar and not to the CHRIST of CHRISTmas.
You're afraid or hesitant to say or greet "Merry Christmas" because you will mention the name of Christ which will lead you to the manger or the cross. If you're a Muslim, Jewish, Mormons or you belong to some religious group; I know you at least believe in Jesus. So, what's the big deal if you say; "Merry Christmas"? Don't be afraid to offend them due to (political correctness) they probably know Jesus more than you do.
"5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6- Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7- But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8- And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9- Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name; 10- That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (Philippians 2:5- 1o KJV)- By Ely Roque Sagansay
