The War on Christmas

How we will End the "Happy Holidays" Epidemic

The War on Christmas
Donald Trump Christmas Rally, Cedar Rapids, IA

There is an all-out war against Christmas, and it's been brewing for decades, especially since that Muslim B. Hussein O'Bama was elected president.

I went out to buy Christmas presents for all of my friends and family last week, and in every single store I entered - Every Single One! - the staff greeted me with "Happy Holidays!" I understand that lots of people are celebrating whatever they celebrate now, but this is America, and I should have the right to celebrate Christmas, and to say "Merry Christmas" wherever and whenever I please.

First, they take Christ out of our schools, forcing our children to learn that their ancestors were monkeys or something. Then, they take the Christ out of Christmas, teaching our children about Santa Claus and presents, instead of about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And now, they are working to destroy Christmas altogether. By forcing us to say "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas," they are forcing us to forget about our religion and our American heritage. Here in the United States of America, we celebrate Christmas. That's just the way it is, and if the immigrants can't appreciate that, they should go back to where they came from, and celebrate their holidays there.

The all-out war against Christmas has only become more intense during the past eight years. With an obviously Muslim and un-Ameican president, it's a wonder we are allowed to celebrate at all. During the past eight years, fewer and fewer Americans have been wishing others a merry Christmas. Nativity scenes have become more and more difficult to find, and what's more, very few people even bother decorating their homes with Christmas lights these days! This is a chilling and undeniable attack on our American way of life.

It is such a relief that on January 21'st we will finally have a President who has vowed to defend Christ and Christmas in this war. President-Elect Donald Trump has vowed that upon his inauguration, he will ensure that we can celebrate Christmas the way that it was meant to be celebrated. We will finally be able to wish strangers and our loved ones a Merry Christmas. The past eight years have been difficult, but finally in 2017, we have something to look forward to: an end to the war on Christmas.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
