>>>Until we all wise up and stop spending money during the Christmas season the retailers could care less what it is called.
Actually that would be during the Advent season. Very little shopping gets done in the Christmas Season, except the day after Christmas.
I think all holy-days are going by the wayside. I noticed the post office in Dearborn has a sign that says it is open on holidays. When will we (Christians) take a stand for our freedom.
"Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project"
Does the same hold true for any other religion's history? I bet not..What an abuse of power this is.
F the ACLU ..They dont make laws and I didnt give them authority to make any decisions..Who the HELL are they ! They MUST put put in their place .
Which Arizona school officials? What district?
Although this year Dec. 25 is a Sunday.
Yea good idea ..Lets get an email address.Some nerve!
Incorporate! Even the ACLU will jump to the defense of Christmas if it is a Corporation.
What drives me insane is the secular "Christmas" music that they play ... over and over.
or boycott stores that refuse to recognize or use the word CHRISTMAS
Yes...by the way I work nights for the Postal Service and usually have to work Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve unless it falls on a weekend (and sometimes I get forced in; last year
New Year's Day fell on a Saturday and I was supposed to get
Friday off as a substitute holiday but was forced in...
at straight time.)
Yes, some people usually do have to work on Christmas Eve or
New Year's Eve--day jobs, though. It's a luxury for me to have them off though it will happen this year. We have a First Night celebration in my small city (concerts, etc.) but in most cases by the time I get home from work it's
already past midnight and everything's over. "What did you do for New Year's?"..."Oh, I sorted mail..."
But this year I should have both off.
It is amazing how low some people will stoop to. Even Scrooge wouldn't go as far as some of these anti-Christmas people.
They will be put in their place with the eventual RICO case against them.
"No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities" (Everson v. The Board of Education - 330 US 1 1947)... Really? James 1:27 says the essence of true religion is taking care of widows and orphans. Religious organizations have been carrying out these activities for centuries. To say "no tax" can be levied to support widows makes the entire Social Security system unconstitutional? What say the liberal?
I'll still hapilly be celebrating Christmas on January 7th either way.
Just like my tagline says....
I celebrate Christmas in my house.
I don't care what everybody else celebrates in theirs.

There are so many other ways to solve the problem. For the last few years, I've been getting Christmas gifts from the Catholic Relief Services "Work of Human Hands" catalogue. Nifty handmade items, not too expensive, the sale of which helps hard working entrepreneurs in third world countries.
