It's a few days away, but I figure everyone says it like 10 days in to December it seems anyway. I work at a grocery store currently, and find myself saying and hearing it casually about 100 times a day or so. so I figure i'll spread my minor annoyances and also love for Christmas with you fine folks like a disease.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
The time of year that's supposed to be all about the birth of Christ, and people have confused for being a time to give people things they either want, don't want, need, love, or dislike ect.
A time for shopping excessively for things we all don't really need.
Did you know Santa Claus was originally the patron saint of prostitutes?
Saint Nicholas, commonly associated with Santa Claus, is said to have aided the poor father of three marriageable girls who could not afford their dowries. To save them from a life of prostitution (a common fate for unmarried women in third-century Asia Minor), he dropped three sacks of gold down their father's chimney late one night. (Sound like another St. Nick we know?) Thus, he is known as the patron saint of prostitutes.
And whats the deal with the star on a the tree, possibly paganism, or Symbolism of the star that led the three wise men to Christs birth?
Anyway, I do love this holiday though, but for the right reasons Jesus came and died for us, and the maker of all things gave his son so sins may be forgiven.
