Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Jan 3 18:40:16 2005, in response to Re: ACLU's way: Re: Media Taking Christmas out of Christmas, posted by Fred G on Mon Jan 3 18:30:04 2005. Fred, finally a well thought out and resonable post on this subject.And for anyone that thinks it's anything more than what you describe in this paragraph, which is probably the most to the point and accurate description of this holiday I have seen yet: The Christmas that we celebrate in the U.S. is Santa Claus, Jingle Bells, Rudolph, and gift-giving, a big dinner and football. Yes, the celebration of the nativity coincides with that, but it's not the major event. If you believe otherwise, that's fine, but let's not kid ourselves that those folks in line at Toys R Us/Crate n Barrel/WalMart are there because of baby jesus. ...can see the retail origins of many of the "customs" the "secular" Christmas has taken from this post here. |
