The next time you hear someone complain about the secular “war on Christmas”, ask them these questions:
Do you feel that our children are doing so well in school that they have time to waste decorating Christmas trees and singing “Joy to the World”? Shouldn’t their school time be put to the purpose for which it is intended?
Do you feel that workers in our cash-strapped local governments should be spending their time and your tax dollars putting up manger scenes and reindeer on the lawn of every city hall and town square in the country, or should they concentrate on the necessary tasks that they are being paid for?
Do you feel like you and your family are not getting enough of the secular and commercial side of Christmas? Are you not hearing enough Christmas carols, not getting to watch enough Christmas specials on TV, not seeing enough Christmas decorations or toy sales? If so, come back to planet Earth immediately.
Do you feel like you and your family are not getting enough of the religious side of Christmas? In that case, feel free to expand the religious observance in your home or to request of your priest or pastor that the same be done at your church. Feel free to speak out against the obscene commercialization of what you claim should be a sacred holiday.
Has the ACLU or any agent of government ever come into your home or your house of worship and told you that your particular religious observance of Christmas wasn’t allowed? If not, stop whining and don’t even think of using the word persecution when you have no clue what that really means.
