Something I didn't know Trump was responsible for being able to say Merry Christmas again.
I know he said he would but I've never heard of him doing a thing.
Besides not all stores allow it or businesses
It was mandated by companies in businesses not to say Merry Christmas because people of different religions are non-believers were offended by others saying Merry Christmas to them and displaying Nativity decorations.
Which I'll never understand because they should have changed the name Christ is still in "Christ"mas.

Bill O'Reilly: War on Christmas won by the good guys, but insurgents remain
You may remember about 10 years ago, “The O’Reilly Factor” began spotlighting companies that refused to say the words "Merry Christmas."www.foxnews.com
He didn't. He said he did, though. Another lie that his followers ate up and parroted
No one is trying to stop anyone from saying or enjoying Christmas. I'll be enjoying Christmas with my family the traditional Christian way because my family are Christians. This doesn't bother me any. I love my family and I want them to enjoy their favorite holiday and have a good time
I know it has six I have no idea why I wrote five thank you

So then your actual answer to the question would be that you do not believe that everything happens according to gods plan?
You should probably stop dictating to me what I think and believe.
It will only make you look foolish.
I also have to thank you I know Christ has six letters for some reason five was in my mind. Good I did make that error, I see I have a lot of people reading what I'm saying.
Funny how people will cash in on another error no it's not funny. But at least I got your reading

There are many businesses that want their employees to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas."
And I now have yours.
I'm not letting Bill Riley influence me in any shape form or fashion. It was the first thing I ran across to post that saying Merry Christmas was taken out of the stores and business and I used it.
I remember from my memory when it started but being in a world that requires evidence I gave it some.
Christmas I never said it was in danger as you indicate. Christ is taken out of Christmas is what I am referring to. It's hard to find anything related to the birth of Christ.
And I'm not worried, my reasons for posting the post has nothing to do with unbelievers.
Have my what? Not attention
But quite a messy and immoral way to make his plan happen. Frankly it’s not believable.
Hogwash is a good description for the 21st century.
It's about the falling away from Christ and the acceptance of the as they say worldly values and for Christians too be aware. The Bible speaks of a falling away then this was just a form of the beginning.

Ok. Are they going to fire them if they decline and say Merry Christmas anyways, though? Not if they don't want to face a lawsuit. Corporations can ask their employees to do lots of things, but people don't always have to mindlessly obey everything they are asked to do
Your reply would indicate otherwise.Your reading...as you indicated in the post I replied to.

When Christmas was cancelled: a lesson from history
A spirit of rebellion took the people of Cromwell’s England and celebrations went ahead despite strict rules banning festivities.

Initially yes, such as Yule, the winter solstice of the Germanic peoples.
Let me get this straight. I wish you a Merry Christmas, and though it's clear I'm not Christian, you choose to shove your religion in my face.
And then you wonder why people don't say Merry Christmas as often as you'd like.
It's behavior like yours above that lead to people's desire to take Christ out of Christmas.
The majority of the people that I am around and have been around do what their employees ask when it comes to the businesses of the employers. Generally how it works is they give you a reprimand, they give you a written warning, they give you days off, then they give you termination when you disobey the guidelines or rules. You calling blindly following. Well company could be sued because one refused to abide by their rules.
Know your rights: What does freedom of religion cover?
Deciding whether to say, 'Happy Holidays' or 'Merry Christmas' can be a personal choice. But for employers, government agencies, and schools, holiday activities or public displays must respect freedom of religion; otherwise, they could be held liable for discrimination.
