The Anglosphere continues to wage the war...to save Christmas!
Here in the States:
In the war against Christmas, it is time for the faithful to fight back
In Great Britain:
Have a very PC Christmas: Britons scare over 'erosion' of Christian holiday
And in Australia, too (where as my smart man notes, they sing "White Christmas" earnestly when it's the middle of summer!):
Xmas cheer is Australian: expert
I'm sending out Christmas cards this years that say "Merry Christmas!" which is, like increasingly everything I do these days, a political statement.
What a world--Bah humbug!
I hope you'll join me and these Christian Americans, Brits and Aussies in remembering the real Reason for the Season--the birth of our Lord Jesus.
Do wish your fellow men and women of good will a "Merry Christmas!" (and not the bland, meaningless "Happy Holidays!"), put up that creche, Nativity or manger scene on the front lawn and in a prominent place inside and corral a group of neighbors (preferably children and young people) to go round your neighborhood to sing real Christmas carols this week like "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem" (And please don't wuss out and sing "winter festival", PC-approved tunes instead like "Winter Wonderland" or "Let it Snow").
On Saturday, we'll sing "Joy to the World!" Why?
Because the Lord is come for the 2004 time!
