For some reason this year; my reply has been "May you have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas"! Not sure why, it's just been coming out that way. I think people in my neck of the woods (bible belt central) have felt the war on Christians and Christmas more than in the past. For I have never been greeted more in coming or going with "Merry Christmas" from store clerks, store owners, other patrons. I hope that it is not too late for this great country, founded by God's Providence and based on his teachings, to return to our true roots as a Nation and as Families. I am a very staunch Conservative. I do not support Gay Marriage; I do support any other kind of civial union. I know that some say "It's about Love" or "Why can't you just wish everyone happiness like Jesus would". Without getting to far off tract, Don't think Jesus would be like "Hey it's more important that you like me than we follow the teachings of my Father".
Now back on the Muslim thing.... I have talked to some soldiers, contractors and missionaries who have been in Muslim lands. They say that the every day, Layman Muslim, shares many things with Christians and peace could be had. But, their religion has been highjacked, much like our Country, by those who only understand hatred, bigotry and killing.
Sorry for the rant....sorry if I got too far off topic, but just thought I would ramble out some of my feelings.
