Simon De La Rosa III@TheSimonShow | It's OK to Say "Merry Christmas" and "One Nation Under God"Click here to reply to @TheSimonShow "So I thought, well, why don't I publish that meme, but also say something as well to accompany it? So this is what I said. America was once a place where people would gladly wish each other Merry Christmas or happy Hanukkah and not happy holidays for fear of ridicule from those who have issues in believing in God. When I was in elementary school, we would make Christmas ornaments, do drawings, sing Christmas carols that included the reference to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Simon De La Rosa III@TheSimonShow | Gen Z Wants Less Sex, More Platonic Relationships in TV and MoviesClick here to reply to @TheSimonShow "Hi, and welcome to my first swellcast of the Simon Show. I have a question for you. Have you wondered why we continue to see a very disturbing pattern of more gratuitous sex on our entertainment choices today? Well, at first I thought that maybe it's a sign that I'm getting a little more prudish as I get older, but that's not the case. It seems like I'm finding some common ground with generation people who were born between 1996 and 2014."
