A Message for the Phony War on Christmas Warriors 0

J. R. Labbe in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

Proclaiming one’s faith through an uttered “Merry Christmas” — or becoming angry at the restaurant manager who doesn’t — isn’t the way to display our humble faithfulness to the mission our Father gave us — to love our neighbors.

Living out that faith — putting our muscle and minds and money into tackling hunger and poverty and homelessness — is what keeps Christ in Christmas.

She goes on to suggest that, once Christmas became a national, that is, secular holiday, secular influences were inevitable, and suggests renaming the national holiday (Festivus, anyone?) and leaving the religious holiday to the religious.

I congratulate her for a rational view, but I suspect that trying to engineer away the phony war on Christmas would be pointless.

Those who promote it care not for facts, only for faction.

‘Twere better to ignore them.
