I received this from my brother and I'm passing it along:

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I'm making a conscious effort to wish everyone
a Merry Christmas this year ...
My way of saying that I am celebrating
the birth Of Jesus Christ.
So I am asking my email friends,
if you agree with me,
to please do the same.
And if you'll pass this on to
your email friends, and so on...
maybe we can prevent one more
American tradition from being lost in the sea of
"Political Correctness."
