The onslaught against Christians in general and Christmas in particular continues. More and more stores are only showing advertisements with "Happy Holidays", no mention of Christmas. Latest word is that the senators and representatives can not put the words, "Merry Christmas," on their mail. We have no one to blame but ourselves. To use a previously published phrase, the opossum, Pogo, said, "We have found the enemy, and it is us. Take a stand, now. Let businesses know that if they are against Christmas, we are against them. I'm dreaming of a right Christmas.
I am dreaming of a Christmas in a land where it is normal for a family to not lock the door when they leave the house.
I am dreaming of a Christmas in which parents are not afraid for their children to play outside unsupervised.
I am dreaming of a Christmas when the simplest of gifts are deeply appreciated.
I am dreaming of a Christmas where even adults believe in the spirit of Santa Claus.
I am dreaming of a Christmas where Christ is the central theme of Christmas.
I am dreaming of a Christmas where unknown people can meet on the streets and say, without fear of hurting some one's feelings, "Have a merry Christmas!" After all, it's Christmas and has been for hundreds of years. Those who are offended knew this was the custom before they came here. They are free to go back.
I am dreaming of a Christmas where everyone understands, that in Algebra, an X stands for an unknown, and Christ takes the place in Xmas. Perhaps, in that context X is appropriate for many who do not know the Christ of Christmas.
I am dreaming of a Christmas where our president is unashamed to beseech the blessings of God upon our great nation instead of bowing to those who would wipe the name of Christ from Christmas.
If you are new to America or under thirty or forty years of age you are probably thinking, that is an impossible dream. But it is not an idle dream; it is a recollection of Christmas' past in which many of us today still remember. God do it again!
