"I hope people will realize what Christmas has become.

You can't drive down the road without nativity scenes being seen. Christ is proclaimed even on secular radio stations and secular TV stations. It's proclaimed in the movies. It's proclaimed in the retail outlets.

I went to the dollar store today. There were nativity scenes. There were bibles. There were Christmas boxes with gospel scenes on them. There was wrapping paper proclaiming scripture.

The Rockettes are putting on a Christmas show downtown, with a full live nativity scene telling the story of Jesus.

There is a production of Handel's Messiah. In fact the event calendars for Nashville are filled with Christmas programs most of which will proclaim Christ in one way or another.

If you can celebrate Christmas in a way that avoids Christ, then you probably shouldn't be celebrating it. The rest of us celebrate Christ at Christmas. We also celebrate friends and family, which Christ would have us do.

Well said.

The rest of us? Unfortunately, the majority of people celebrate Christmas without Christ and without ever going to church. They dump a $5 bill into a Salvation Army bucket and that completes their charitable Christmas giving. It’s a farce.
