Yes, Virginia, there is a war on Christmas. Itβs the secularization of Americaβs favorite holiday and the ever- stronger push toward a neutered "holiday" season so that non-Christians wonβt be even the slightest bit offended. Traditionalists get upset when theyβre toldβmore and more these daysβthat celebrating Christmas in any public way is a violation of church and state separation. That is certainly not what the founders intended when they wrote, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." John Gibson, a popular anchor for the Fox News Channel, has been digging up evidence about the liberal activists, lawyers, politicians, educators, and media people who are leading the war on Christmas. And he reveals that the situation is worse than you can imagine. For instance: β’ In Illinois, state government workers were forbidden from saying the words "Merry Christmas" while at work β’ In Rhode Island, local officials banned Christians from participating in a public project to decorate the lawn of City Hall β’ A New Jersey school banned even instrumental versions of traditional Christmas carols β’ Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project Millions of Americans are starting to fight back against the secularist forces and against local officials who would rather surrender than be seen as politically incorrect. Gibson shows readers how they can help save Christmas from being twisted beyond recognition, with even the slightest reference to Jesus completely disappearing. The annual debate will be hotter than ever in 2005, and this book will be perfect for everyone whoβs pro-Christmas.
