Christmas, The Inclusive Holiday

It seems every year, around Christmas time, a debate begins between Christians and the rest of the World over whether Christmas symbols should be displayed and the traditional greeting "Merry Christmas" should be used as opposed to something more inclusive, like "Happy Holidays." This debate reveals that both sides suffer a deep ignorance of the whole celebration. All religions regard God as a distant, all-powerful being, whose presence and blessings we have to earn by certain religious practices. This, predictably, places a barrier between those practicing a specific religion and all others. Christmas celebrates just the opposite...an inclusive God who loves us all so much and wants to be so close to us, He becomes human and lives with us.
