The So Called War on Christmas
According to a new book being promoted widely in conservative circles, there is a vast, left-wing conspiracy to eliminate Christmas. That's right. Apparently, liberals, having tired of fighting for world peace or the elimination of poverty, have taken on an even bigger battle against the world's most popular holiday. It's called "The War on Christmas."

Here's my report from the central front of the war on Christmas, the capital of Secular America: New York City!

I have taken to wishing people I know to be Christian "Merry Christmas" and those I know to be Jewish "Happy Chanukah." All the rest get Happy Holiday. Everyone likes having their religion acknowledged. Why not? As to a war on Christmas, I prefer waging war against those who would sully Christianity by tying it to the right end of the Republican Party or make it about gays and abortion while people starve. That's the war worth fighting.

Agreed. That is one jihad that we can all engage in.

xmas is pagan in its origins--all one has to do is look back and see where all of the traditions that we do are based upon the worship of other gods--not the saviour of the world as the author says--it is just the fact that we are too ingrained to change to the truth when we find it out---see for yourself and see if you can change
