At the risk of being sued or thrown in jail I felt it necessary to express the views of many readers when it comes to celebrating Christmas this season.
I think it appropriate we celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas close together in the United States. It doesn't matter what religion a person is or isn't we can all be thankful for the things we have. Christmas is a time of giving now, but it used to be considered a religious time of year in which both Protestant and Catholic faiths celebrated the birth of their Savior Jesus Christ. Be very careful with your word usage this Yule Tide Season. The very mention of the name Jesus Christ in the same breath as Christmas might have the ACLU swoop down on you like a hawk swoops down on an un-expecting rodent in the field some 1000 feet below. As a matter of fact the ACLU's eyes may even be sharper than a hawk's. They only use their authority as much as the US Supreme Court will allocate them power. I can't argue with that as I have been told we have the best judges money can buy. I still wish everyone a very merry Christmas and I still associate Jesus Christ with Christmas. Wow did I just say that? I better watch what I say or I might be writing my next article from a jail cell.
I'm a person who believes it shouldn't be against the law to profess my beliefs, afterall others of different faiths exercise their rights and are protected by the ACLU.
