Some people can't make up their mind. They say that Christmas is just a generic holiday of happiness that involves family feasts, colored lights, and brightly wrapped presents. Yet, despite the PR campaign to make Santa Claus the poster child of Christmas, the magnitude of the day continues to prevail. Christmas is the time when Jesus decided to give up his rights in order to live with humanity which is a message some people try to veil with the banner of political correctness.
An example?
Students and faculty at Florida Gulf Coast University can forget about hauling out the holly because FGCU "has
banned all holiday decorations from common spaces on campus."
"Junior Marilyn Lerner, a 20-year-old resort and hospitality management major from California, said she'll miss seeing Christmas trees in the Student Union. 'I think they're pretty," said Lerner, who is Jewish. "It's just a Christmas tree. I don't mind.'"
If it is "just a Christmas tree" and Christmas is merely a "commercialized holiday" why all the fuss?
