Mystery Signs! ‘It’s Ok To Say Merry Christmas’
Annual anonymous declaration brings joy in small-town America
WND
An anonymous sponsor has been putting up signs in one Western town reminding residents that there is more to Christmas than sales, time off, parties and such.
It’s a simple message, saying, “It’s OK to say, Merry Christmas,” and it’s appearing on green signs with white lettering around Redmond, Washington.
A report in the local Redmond Reporter reveals that it’s the third year the signs have appeared – and even yet there’s no hint of who is doing it.
The newspaper reported the signs were found in several locations around the town.
“Underneath the main message, in smaller letters, there’s a quotation from Romans 1:16 of the Bible: ‘For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes; first to the Jew, then to the Gentile,” the report said.
A year ago when the signs appeared, CBN reported that the signs generally are on city rights-of-way, near places like the city hall, schools and churches.
Janice Malone told the network then, “Everyone else is free to express their opinion. Why can’t Christians?”
“I think the signs express a fine sentiment and the joy of the season that is being celebrated. I certainly support any efforts to respect the role religion has in our society. At the same time, we should also remember and wish members of other religions well on their significant holy days, which most often do not coincide with Christmas,” Father James Johnson, pastor at St. Jude Church, told the Reporter.

Happy Saturnalia Day, Washington!
Saturn is the reason for the season, after all (and is the source of the word Satan, too, being as the fallen angel’s name was Lucifer, you dolts).
I say whatever I want, who is the idiot that made the sign.
