Carmel barber column: ‘Deal with it, because I believe in Merry Christmas’

Commentary by Jason Peek

So many of you that talk to me tell me you appreciate that I don’t care about political correctness and that I say what others think, so let’s keep that going.

I now live in a world where you hurt people’s feelings if you use the word Christmas instead of holiday. Well, let’s nip this real quick. It is Christmastime, and it always has been a celebration of Jesus’ birthday.

I know it’s not his real birthday; it’s a time for believers to honor what the son of God did for us and the examples he set. If this offends you then save yourself a pile of money and the pain that it takes to celebrate this spectacular event and just enjoy the days off you get because of believers like the founding fathers of this country that made Christmas a day of celebration.

I can’t figure out for the life of me why other religions like Islam get so bent out of shape that you even mention their religion in a hurtful way – and I’m being nice because this is a family portal – get over it, go about your business and don’t worry what others are doing. And  Kim, I’m so sorry Sony made a film about assassinating you and it hurt your little black heart!

We need to realize that diversity is a good thing and we don’t have to bow down to what others want to hear so we don’t offend them. Half the people who get offended aren’t even American.

So this Christmas dare to be you and stand for what you believe in, and if someone doesn’t like it, well, who cares? They’re probably not your fiend, anyway.

Merry Christmas and God bless all of you! (Now everyone go get your participation trophy so we can all feel equal.)
