Ummm, remember the good 'ol days, when the family would go to the National Christmas Tree and steal ornaments off of it? Uhhh, Huuuh, doing the Beavis and Butthead noise right now...There actually was a Nativity scene at the National X-mas tree at one time, when Reagan was in office...and the whole scene was beautiful! nothing was missing...

I don't think Big Business will like that one bit. Considering that Christmas is "THE" shopping time of the year. Big business (retail, actually) can do what they want, within the law. How about a compromise -- government offices, post office, courts, etc. stay open. Unless it's a weekend, of course. For public servants (local, state and federal), December 25 is like any other workday.
I'd sure make this judge work that day. What is he trying to do, encourage a retail phenomenon in a courthouse?

Well, I'm gonna go out on a limb and be a bit un-PC...
Christmas = Jesus' Birth - Not Mohammad's, Not Santa's, Not Rudolph's, not Frosty's, Not Penney's, Not Kohl's etc.

Christmas = Jesus' Birth - Not Mohammad's, Not Santa's, Not Rudolph's, not Frosty's, Not Penney's, Not Kohl's etc. I understand that. But Christmas has been apart of my world and life since the day I was born.
Christmas lights are spread out all over town. Just about every home has Chirstmas lights around the outside of the houses.
Christmas cards are coming in with the mail every day now.
If Christmas is supposed to be a personal celebration, why do 3/4th's of the people celebrate it? Openly?
Why should we lose Christmas? Why all of a sudden Christmas has become the big bugalo?
There is always some group out there trying to restrict and control another group. I'm tired of it.

Christmas = Jesus' Birth You are absolutely right. And, we resent being told that we dare not speak it nor display it in any way. That the mere mention of His name or the sight of His birthplace re-enacted offends a small minority.
The only thing that the "other side" understands is money. If we refuse to recognize Christmas as a "national holiday" (day off from work and big excuse to buy each other gifts) because we don't want to call it "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" - and keep it the Christian *holy* day that it is - a day of worship only - perhaps the Christian-suppressors would take notice.
The economy would, that's for sure.
At any rate, the bottom line is that it is, indeed, the day of Christ's birth. He *is* the reason for the season.

In the process of not offending anyone, I am being offended constantly, but I guess folks like me don't matter.
