I recently ate at a Cracker Barrel and was delighted to see not only a huge Christmas tree but on the mantle above the fireplace was a nativity along with some other Christmas decorations. I made a point of saying something positive to the manager about it!

While we certainly need to speak up when we don't like what we see (or don't see, as the case may be), we need to be sure to express approval for those who still acknowledge Christmas and especially those who realize that "Jesus is the reason for the season".

And I also recently was shopping at a Hobby Lobby and was sure to drop a little extra in the Salvation Army kettle outside the door ... :-)

Hobby Lobby is owned by Christians. Always Christian music playing in the background and also closed on Sundays.

I stopped and said a few words to a Salvation Army bell ringer yesterday, thanked her for standing in the cold, asked her how long she was working (4 more hours, 6 total), and let her know I appreciated her taking the time out of her day to do that. I shoulda got her a hot chocolate. Maybe I'll do that today.
