We are the makers of My Merry Christmas, the largest and one of the oldest Christmas websites online. You can read our story here. We publish to millions of Christmas lovers around the world, having covered Christmas extensively for more than 15 years (and more than a decade here online). We celebrate the season year round with people from around the world.

Those who visit My Merry Christmas are those who cherish the season. Those who visit here are folks who grow leery of it.

The so-called War on Christmas is really only a war in the sense that there are victims. And the victims of this war are people who take any position relative to the season — either for or against.

That’s because Christmas really isn’t the point of contention some people make it out to be. It has been celebrated in different ways by different people in different cultures around the world since before the birth of Jesus Christ.

We contend, if we must contend at all, that Christmas is special for that fact alone. The diversity of thought around the season needs to be celebrated — not condemned. Yet some choose to choose sides — and make a war of it.  

We don’t believe it. We’re not buying into it. And we’re tired of it.

Christmas is celebrated for the sacred and the secular but nobody really fights over it. Not really. Over the years we have polled thousands of people on this issue and no matter where they come from, what they believe or how they celebrate Christmas they just don’t want fight about it.

For more than a decade more than 95% of respondents declare they check out on the arguments of Christmas. That’s right, they don’t care. They just want to keep Christmas in whatever way they keep Christmas.

So why create this website?

Quite simply, we’re declaring war on the war on Christmas. We’re going after those who create controversy every time they see a Nativity scene on public land — and we’re going after every zealous media outlet who would have us all think society is being robbed every time a school says the word “holiday” instead of “christmas”. There is a middle ground in all this and most of us stand in it. These are the people this site represents.

The manufactured “war on Christmas” is a non-event. Those who celebrate it do so with good cheer — and good will — in their hearts. And those who do not keep Christmas let those who do have their fun. That’s the majority opinion. And we’re here to promote it.
