Thank you for the scripture. I gather from your post you are pointing out that there are Christians who do not exactly relish Christmas. I do not think this is where the left is coming from. I believe the left attacks Christmas because it (often without realizing it) hates Christ and Christians.

I understand the origins of "Christmas" and in all honesty I would have no problem with the holiday being dropped. It is not the birth of the Lord and I am not totally comfortable with us keeping a pagan holiday and just adjusting it to suit us.

I also have a little bit of trouble with the Sabbath being changed to Sunday. I don't understand why this came about.

Agreed. The leftist jihad against Christmas trees must be resisted even by those who aren't too keen on Christmas trees. I'd defend a creche more enthusiastically though.

BTW, that scripture probably refers to carved idols, not actual green trees -- and, in context, there's an implication of worship, which we certainly don't do. Nevertheless it's worth a chuckle or two around the holidays.
