Prompt: Pretend the president has passed a law banning Christmas. Write a letter to convince him that Christmas should not be banned.
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to express my deep concern about the recent law that has been passed banning Christmas. As a citizen of this great country, I feel it is my duty to speak out against this decision.
Christmas is a time of joy and celebration. It is a time when families and friends come together to share in the spirit of the season. It is a time when we put aside our differences and come together as one, regardless of race, religion or creed.
Banning Christmas would be a great tragedy. It would deprive millions of people of the joy and happiness that they look forward to each year. It would also be a blow to our economy, as many businesses rely on the holiday season for their livelihood.
Furthermore, Christmas has a deep cultural and historical significance. It is a time when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, a figure who has had a profound impact on our society and our world. To ban Christmas would be to deny this important part of our heritage.
I understand that there may be concerns about the commercialisation of Christmas and the pressure that it can put on families to spend money they may not have. However, I believe that these issues can be addressed without resorting to a ban. We can encourage people to focus on the true meaning of Christmas and to give from the heart, rather than from a sense of obligation.
In conclusion, I urge you to reconsider your decision and to allow Christmas to be celebrated in our country. It is a time of joy and hope, and we need that now more than ever. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Emily Brooks
