Christmas With a Capital C - Go Fish
Brad Stine: "I remember when people said things like, 'Merry Christmas' to each other. EVERYBODY said, 'Merry Christmas! Hey, Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Lohenstein. Do you know why? Because it wasn't about a religion, it was about something as a culture that we thought was so valuable, even if I disagreed with the religion behind it, because it was good for ALL of us instead of just me. But what do people say now? 'Happy Holidays.' 'See, I just say, "Happy Holidays," because I don't want to say, "Merry Christmas," because you don't believe in Christmas, and I don't want to offend you, and...*chipmunk noises*'" It's called "Christmas"! I went to the coffee shop To get myself a mocha The lady at the counter Said, "Happy holidays" I said, "Thanks, lady, I am pretty happy; But there's only one holiday That makes me feel that way." And... It's called "Christmas" What more can I say? It's about the birth of Christ And you can't take that away You can call it something else But that's not what it will be It's called "Christmas" With a capital "C" God's got a law And we've pretty much destroyed it We're gonna get judged There's no way to avoid But Jesus came down To take the punishment for me He did for you, too, So now maybe you can see why... It's called "Christmas" What more can I say? It's about the birth of Christ And you can't take that away You can call it something else But that's not what it will be It's called "Christmas" With a capital "C" It's called "Christmas"... Brad Stine: "Oh, yes, we want to say, 'Happy Holidays' because we don't leave anybody out. Really? How come there's a ton of holidays in February - nobody says, 'Happy Holidays' in February, do they? They say what it is, 'Happy Valentines' - OOOO, do you believe in love?" It's called "Christmas" Brad Stine: "But nobody wants to say, 'Christmas'! Everything else but 'Christmas'. Why? I know why. You do, too. It's because it's got 'Christ' in it, and after 2,000 years He's still intimidating people. You see, when a religious person says, 'I am the way,' people don't want to hear it. They don't!" It's called "Christmas" Brad Stine: "I say you gotta say, 'Merry Christmas' because it IS! If you don't believe in it, fine. But I've got a flash for you: Christianity happens to be the religious heritage of my country whether you like it or not..." It's called "Christmas" Brad Stine: "So if you're not a Christian, or you don't like it, and you don't want Christmas celebrated, God bless you! But let me tell you something: if you think you're gonna stop me from saying it because it offends you,hey, I've got a flash for you: PUT A HELMET ON! It's my country, too!" It's called "Christmas" What more can I say? It's about the birth of Christ And you can't take that away You can call it something else But that's not what it will be It's called "Christmas" With a capital "C" (Come on!) It's called "Christmas" What more can I say? It's about the birth of Christ And you can't take that away You can call it something else But that's not what it will be It's called "Christmas" (It's called "Christmas") It's called "Christmas" With a capital "C"
