In an effort to not throw up over the holidays, I would like to see the following sappy cliche sayings executed immediately…

“Wise Men Still Seek Him.” (So why only this time of the year?)

“Don’t take the Christ out of Christmas.” (It’s okay to take Him out of schools, homes, businesses, Easter, decision making for the family - but not okay concerning Christmas.)

“To some it’s a holiday, to others it’s a Holy Day.” (I don’t even want to comment on this one.)

“He’s the Reason for the Season.” (Just for the record - Biblical scholars think Jesus’ real birthday was in April. It could be that the real reason we have Christmas when we have it is to redeem and reclaim a once pagan holiday. Which, I’m okay with.)

“Season’s Greetings” (I never got this one. It’s always a season and NOBODY uses the word greeting anymore except GREETING CARD companies. So technically this saying is appropriate all year long. Instead of Happy 4th of July - start saying “Season’s Greetings.”)

What are yours?
