During the early morning newscast, Fox Talking Heads discussed the pros and cons of the 2005 White House Christmas card. The main criticism is in the fact that the word CHRISTMAS is not found anywhere on the card. On the other hand, the card focuses on the entire holiday season, whatever the recipient's religious leaning.
Card Face: A painting by Jamie Wyeth, son of Andrew Wyeth, depicts the White House. Snow blankets the lawn and a magnificent Pine tree, partially covering the oval office facade. Atop the building, the flag flies fullout in a stiffish breeze. The bottom third of the work features the Bush family pets: Barney, Ms. Beazley (two black Scotties), and India, the Bush black cat.
Inside the card: The 1" gold seal of the President. Beneath that a 1-1/2" statement of Psalm 28:7 (Revised Standard Version) "The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults. And with my song I give thanks to Him."
Then in large script type, the message:
WITH BEST WISHES FOR A HOLIDAY SEASON OF HOPE AND HAPPINESS 2005 With the signatures of George Bush and Laura Bush.
"Christmas Card Questioned"
uh, they didn't use the word "Christmas" but instead put a Bible verse on it. what is the problem here?
i'll be glad to give any retail operation that doesn't want to use the word "Christmas" a break when they start quoting the Bible in their ads.
a made up controversy by someone who doesn't understand the concept.
LOL!
How much of a downer will that be...deleted from the Christmas card list. I really will pout.
May love and peace fill your heat and home during this holiday season and throughout the new year 2002.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Psalm 27:8,13
Mine's on top of the refridgerator.
The 2003 Card is my favorite..
Where is my mailman?
Not only do people not always tell me "Merry Christmas",
they also don't always tell me I'm handsome and a stud,either.
For those few who love feeling like a victim, try being in the Sudan as a Christian or as a missionary in China or nearly any Islamic country.
The painting by Jamie Wyeth that portrays a wintery White House as Barney, Miss Beazley and even, Willie the cat, is displayed in the East Room. The painting is the model for this year's White House Christmas Card.

Got my card on Dec 1st...
I just think it's funny that O'Reilly's made-up "controversy" ended up snagging both Bush and Fox.
