What is it about Christmas that scares so many people? Every year at this time the papers and airways are filled with stories of groups and individuals going to court to either stop Christmas decorations from being put up or to demand that they be removed.

Grinches come in many sizes and colors. Only the green ones managed to get some actual bad press.

What has happened is the spirit of the Anti-Christ. Thank the ACLU and people like Barry Lynn (Americans United for Separation of Church and State) and such. These people have gone almost unchallenged, while the church leaders have sat on their backsides. Parents have not put up a fight at their local school boards, and the common citizens have not spoken up at the ballot box against their local leaders and judges. That's what's happened to Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you all...

"What is it about Christmas that scares so many people?"

Parse ...

The root to Christmas is Christ
Jesus, the Christ,
the Annointed and Savior,
Given to/for all men (people),
That we might live with God in heaven.

But Satan (Santa sideways, sorta'),Knows his final demise and desires all that pertains to God (Jesus) for himself.

Ergo,
Christ is offensive to anti-Christ(ians)

Christmas reminds man of the miracle birth and his need to be saved from Hell.

I heard the guest host on the Glenn Beck show refer to himself as the president of POOP ....

People Offended by Offended People with Christmas.

Merry CHRISTmas to all.

One of my neighbors came over last week and said Feliz Navidad...I told him it was too cold for fleas...it had to be dry skin. It took him a minute, but he finally figured it out (fleasonthedog).

We went wrong by allowing people with un-american and anti-religious attitudes the right to speak.When we gave in to the likes of "Mad"-elyn O'hare that was the first mistake.If the free speech rights of the majority can be denied then so can the free speech rights of the minority.THE ABILITY TO SUE TO FORCE PEOPLE TO DO YOUR BIDDING MUST BE STOPPED!People must refuse to do as they are told(taking down Christmas decorations,religious symbols,etc).

They aren't scared of Christmas. The acolytes of the Socialist Faith are in a religious war with Christianity, and Christmas is the most visible symbol of that religion, and has to be muzzled.

You answered your initial question well in your last paragraph.

Might I add, however, that Kwanzah, Ramadan, Allah, Buddha, etc. do not cause the enemy to tremble. Any mention of the Lord Jesus Christ does. Thus, those whom the enemy influences are highly motivated through self-preservation to try their hardest to keep the name of Christ Jesus from being mentioned. (Fat chance! Bow now or bow later!)

Merry Christmas to all!

Ref: Eph 6:12 "Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

Christmas is about redemption.

The need for redemption implies condemnation.

Lucifer wants us to believe that rejecting Christmas, and Christ, will somehow invalidate the condemnation.

Lucifer is a liar.

The reality is that humans who reject Christ will simply join Lucifer in darkness –eternaly separated from Yahweh, Creator and Lord of the universe.

Misery wants company - and that, IMHO, is what has ~Always been happening to Christmas.

We live in a society where it is OK to be offended by regligious symbols, but we must overlook actions such as blowing up innocent people in the name of religion.

Something is very wrong with this picture. A picture of the Nativity must be taken down, but never mind the folks who plant bombs to kill your children in the name of their god.

"I personally don't understand this"

Let me help you. It began by successfully removing daily prayer from public schools and this was like taking the leash off the hungry wolverine. Then it just devoured every Christian symbol in sight as people stood by and nodded, "Yeah, this is the American way - ain't separation of Church and State great?".

You take God out of the public and it leaves a huge vacuum. Guess who comes in to replace to loss? That other spiritual entity that has been swept from public awareness, Satan. It's as though God is saying to us, "Accept me into your lives and your society or take the alternative, there is no inbetween".

"Apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15:5)

Christmas has been XMASED away! Do we live such an abbreviated lifestyle of four own choice? I have watched essentially every effort to assianiate The Judeo Christian Ethic and now men and women with no backbone allow politicians and business people they work for to needle and intimidate them to the point of giving up and resigning the Glory of Jehova Gira's Birthday!

I know its not just me but it seems 1993 has ushered in an avalanche of Anti-God AKA Anti-Christian sentiment relegating everything HOLY Irreverent and Irrelevant as the World see it. This is but one more strike against us as a Nation; because the Bible clearly states that the Nation that forgets Jehovah Gira will be turned into HELL! If you are like many I have known over the years and have acquired the habit of abbreviating Christmas you would be very wise in reversing this habit immediately. Nobody should be this busy by Blaspheming the HOLY name of I AM's birth. There was a time the mere fact of speaking or breathing his name was rightly feared and reverenced. As a Gentile I know you see from certain righteous Jewish people this reverence still practised regularly; they abbreviate out fear and reverence not out of arrogance and stupidity! Christmas is our LORDS Birthday and deserves to be presented with reverence and a happy and joyious occasion!

Remind your boss and certainly every politician you meet its not happy holidays its Merry Christmas now and forever! Reserve the Holidays for New Year but keep Christ in Christmas after all Jesus Is Lord and He is the reason for The (CHRISTMAS)season! There! that was not so difficult was it? Do yourself a favor and change this bad habit; you have enough get right in your life; Remember its CHRISTMAS!

It wasn't so many years ago we'd have Hanukkah over at the cousins' house (decorated with a menorah and a Christmas tree) and then come over to our house for Christmas. Hey, double the presents! We'd all go to both temple and church. At that time no one thought anything about it. Sadly, they're starting to shun all Christmas celebrations and imo it's due to the media bashing of anything Christian.
