Thanksgiving is over let the Holiday rush begin. I had another article accepted and published on Ezine Articles. During Thanksgiving dinner with my family I got to thinking how blessed I am and what the holidays are really about. I contemplated on how life was like the day after 9/11 and that is where the idea for this article came from. We really came together as a nation on that day, I am sure there wasn't a church with an empty seat on Sunday. This brings me to the holidays. One thing that bothers me is how we greet each other during the holidays. I understand most people don't know what you celebrate, whether you are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or any other kind of religion out there. I am a Christian, Christmas is the celebration of the birth of my savior, Jesus Christ. I hope you don't get offended when I say Merry Christmas. I won't get offended if you say Happy Chanuka or Happy Kwanza. I probably will invite you to church on Sunday with me though.

Merry Christmas and God Bless
