Dear Editor,
It’s obvious that how the “WE SAY ” on the Christmas magnets came about has confused many people.
The Bill O’Reilly information piece should help to clarify the start of WE SAY. https://www.
As O’Reilly pointed out there were companies who told their employees “WE SAY HAPPY HOLIDAYS, NOT MERRY CHRISTMAS.”. In response to that O’Reilly started saying “We Say MERRY CHRISTMAS” Again, this was in reaction to WE SAY HAPPY HOLIDAYS. It was not an original idea from Christians.
Concerning my Christmas magnets. This is not a tax deductible item. It is a gift to any who would display it. Free! Never sold! This is one of my ways of giving back.
For almost 30 years the Lord has blessed me with the opportunity to share, via group presentations, my Coins of the Bible class. Some 430 classes and 20,000 attendees later my fee for the class of “TWO GLASSES OF SWEET ICE TEA” has never changed. Its called giving back. Recently, a class at a Methodist Church in Chapin called about changing their name to Chapin Community Christian Church. There were over 100 in attendance including 3 ministers. At the end of the presentation, I introduced my Christmas Magnets to a standing ovation.
It’s unfortunate that we are having so many problems in our churches today and not nearly enough people trying to solve them.
Wayne Damron
Wayne’s initiative, starting in 2010, emerged from his frustration with the notion that saying “Merry Christmas” was deemed politically incorrect. By providing these bumper stickers free of charge, he took a proactive step to address this concern and make the message more widely visible. The distribution of over 5,000 magnetic bumper stickers annually, with the aim of encouraging the use of “Merry Christmas,” reflects his dedication to this cause.
Wayne Damron’s additional efforts, such as giving free lectures on ‘Coins of the Bible’ to churches and communities, further demonstrate his dedication to promoting the message of Christmas. The lectures, which span nearly three decades and cover various locations, showcase the depth of his commitment to sharing the historical and cultural significance of coins in relation to biblical times.
