The war against western culture, traditional American values, Christians, and especially Christmas rages on, with atheists, scrooges, socialists, politically-correct bureaucrats, liberals, and other far-left loonies plotting to eradicate anything that reminds them of where their privileges originated. If it's war they want, though, it's war they should get. Not only did I decide to buy Christmas stamps this year, I decided to buy enough for all of my Christmas cards, AND, for all of my 2005 postal needs. Mortgage, car insurance, school loans; all these bills will have Christmas stamps attached. Upon year's completion, I will purchase enough to last yet another year - I see no reason either to use any other stamps, ever again. Shouting at the television will not win this battle - patriots must take the battle to the enemy, one glorious stamp at a time.
The battle plan for anybody else that wishes to fight this war with me follows: Purchase a year's supply of the Christmas stamp above. If the local office is out, demand they get more, then order them online here. Let the power of the people make this stamp the best selling stamp in the history of the postal service.
Complain to the postal service here. Inform them that they do not carry enough Christmas stamps. There were plenty of Hannukah, Kwanzaa, and generic holiday stamps at my post office, but no Christmas stamps. I had to ask a postal employee to find more Christmas stamps behind the counter. She informed me that the postal service was hell-bent on not offending anybody, hence the lack of Christmas stamps. She was happy to hear of my plans and vowed to do likewise.
Use the stamps for all outgoing mail, for all purposes, including birthdays, letters to Congress, etc. I suspect the stamps will make great conversation pieces, presenting the perfect opportunity to enlighten and recruit more patriots.
Tell friends and family what you're doing, and encourage them to join the cause.
Inform the media. Blogs must be the front line messengers of this tactic for it to succeed.
Send leftover Christmas cards to the ACLU. Count leftover Christmas cards, divide that number by 52, and send them that amount of cards each week. I highly recommend signing the cards, "Sincerely, GOD," as I plan to. (Warning, the ACLU may try to sue on the grounds that such cards may constitute the establishment of a religion via snail mail.)

Send people to vdare.com's "War Against Christmas" entries. Vdare has the most extensive collection and documentation of Anti-Christmas shenanigans I know of. Isn't it ironic, too, that these same organizations tolerate illegal deeds such as illegal immigration. To avoid shaming lawbreaking aliens, they call them "undocumented" immigrants, yet Christmas, a federal holiday, is shamed to the point where it might as well be illegal, and silenced to the point where it's become severely undocumented. Go figure!

Oftentimes, the average American feels helpless in fighting the powers that be. I can only vouch for my own experience when I say that merely making the decision to purchase hundreds of these Christmas stamps and making plans to use them throughout the year has lifted my spirits. I'm almost embarrassed to borrow a term from the liberal vocabulary and say that I feel a sense of "empowerment". I'm confident with millions of Christmas stamps in circulation throughout the year, our message will resonate loud and clear:
"One small stamp for me, one giant leap for America!"
If anyone thinks the birth of Jesus was not a momentous historical event, ask why they're writing checks with 2004 as the year.
Red and green ribbons, a la the red AIDS ribbon? Not that the display of symbolism would matter to us, but when people ask what the ribbon stands for, and you say 'Recognition of Christmas as a National Holiday', enjoy the conversation that follows.
