I had the good fortune to spend Christmas Day with a friend who grew up in the Czech Republic when it was under the domination of the Communists -- indeed, she spent time in jail in college.
We were discussing all the hulla-ballo over Christmas customes this year, and shw told us that that is how it started in Czechoslovakia. First they changed Christmas trees to Winter trees and then, one by one, eliminated all Czech customs that had anything to do with religion.
We must recognized that the Judeo-Christian ethic of our founding Fathers is under seige and we must fight back, lest we become another Godless nation doomed to fail.
