Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa

This morning in church God reminded me, I am me.  I was created to be me by Him.  The more I continue to step into the person He created the more at peace, contented, and joyful I become.  And, I'm discovering the more I am me, the more I enjoy meeting and learning who others are.

This is a season of multiple holidays which are celebrated in this United States.  Christmas, Hanukkah (khä`nəkə, –n kä), and Kwanzaa are three which are celebrated during December.

By saying, greeting and wishing others a Merry Christmas I am sharing my belief. It is not in any way intended in disrespect, and it is not bragging.  I welcome others to share their belief by saying Happy Hanukkah or Happy Kwanzaa, or simply saying Hello.

And, if you are more comfortable simply saying - Happy Holidays, I am not here to say please, do not.

For many years I did not share myself with others as I felt I was less than others are.  Today, I am simply moving into being comfortable with the person God has created me to be.  Each of us is a creation, I believe of God, and you have your own beliefs.

The United States continues to be a melting pot of diversity, which I applaud.

By saying Merry Christmas I am simply sharing who I am, and I continue to look forward to learning who you are
