Be Jolly, Christmas isn’t going anywhere

By Quintez Brown —

Happy Holidays! Yes, it’s the holiday season and saying “Happy Holidays” does not make me anti-Christian, atheist or too politically correct. You’re actually being inclusive and American by using that phrase instead of only “Merry Christmas.”

There are millions of people in the United States that are not religiously affiliated and a few other million that are not Christian. That means America has a beautifully diverse group of people that celebrate different holidays.

Also, America doesn’t have an established national religion, and that’s why the promotion of Christmas in public settings and government institutions has been a controversial hot topic.
