He Whose Name We Dare not Speak at X-Mas!
He Whose Name We Dare not Speak at X-Mas!

By John W. Lillpop
Back in the good old days, the first inkling of the "Christmas Spirit"
usually found its way into in one's conscious awareness on or around
Thanksgiving.
Back then, having the Christmas Spirit meant that one was spiritually
ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, openly and without fear
of offending anyone.
Back then, the birth of Jesus Christ was celebrated in parks, schools,

*Halloween, a holiday for celebrating death, usurp Christmas, a
holiday for rejoicing in the promise of eternal life?
In summary, when did pandering to the demands of the minority become
more important than preserving the traditions and culture of the
overwhelming majority?
For some time now, liberals have been working through the ACLU,
