CHRISTMAS: It's more than holiday

I always look forward to the Christmas holidays in our area … celebrating the birth of our Savior and giving thanks for what we have. I was surprised to see there is a new business in Hayden, Salvation for Muslims … I didn’t know we had a Muslim community in this area. I hope we can still put up our nativity scenes and say “Merry Christmas.”

I’m originally from the East Coast and that has been taken away — there’s no Christmas, it’s all holiday now so as not to “offend” anyone by saying the word “Christmas.” Please don’t let this happen here.
