Mind-blowing omission of Christ

To the Editor: I am sympathetic to businesses that say, “Happy Holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas” because it is wrong to assume that everyone is Christian. However, it blew my mind to read a “Countdown to Christmas” in the Dec. 1 issue of the Sparta Independent and not read one mention of Christ. So, for the record, Dec. 4 is the second Sunday in Advent, Dec. 11, the third, Dec. 18, the fourth, and Saturday, Dec. 24 is Christmas Eve. Christmas Day falls on a Sunday this year, which provides a wonderful opportunity for parents to remind their kids what Christmas is really about by worshipping together on that “blessed morn.” I know there are many Christian communities in the area that would love to celebrate the gift of Jesus Christ to the world with you this year ...if you already understand yourself as a Christian or you are simply seeking.
