It seems that "Christmas" has been completely dropped from the end-of-the-year, wintery retail selling time. "Happy Holidays." "Seasons Greetings."
Retailers are shying away from that second holiest Christian holiday, opting for the more inclusive and less-Jesusy wishes. This is an outrage.
Actually, no. The outrage is that "real" live Christians are offended by the de-Christianizing of this overly commericial season. The holiday that is celebrated in America's shopping malls is the not birth of the Lord, but rather of the amortization of the American future. The credit card debt, the personal bankruptcies, the commericialization of the childhood mind: these are the reasons for the season.
Christians should celebrate the severing of ties between the birth of Jesus and the new Playstation 3.
