YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- Five women in Youngstown, Ohio, have purchased billboard space for a message about saying "Merry Christmas" that purports to be from Jesus himself.

The prayer group said it raised enough money for four billboards urging residents to resist the trend of saying "Happy Holidays" instead of a more specific message about the Christian holiday, WEWS-TV in Cleveland reported Thursday.

"I miss hearing you saying Merry Christmas," the billboard message says. It's signed, "Jesus."

The women said they have enough donated money left over to begin planning a billboard campaign for next Christmas.
