I do not presume to guess what God thinks. But he said "If you deny me, I will deny you".
Christmas is not just a religious holiday. I celebrated it when I was an atheist.

OK. Now you are starting to tick me off.
Go up and look at the cards the Clintons sent. Does their card mean they are proclaiming Christ to the world? No.
Did you even GET a card from the White House? I did, and mine is at the framers, because I am THRILLED that we have a president who quotes scripture in his card, and lives his faith.
You can dwell on the beauty and religiousness of those White House Christmas cards from the Clinton years.
Feh.

God did not set up Christmas - man did. It is a holiday that was set up by those who wanted to honor the day of Jesus birth. Yet, we do not know the date of Jesus' birth so it is only a symbolic date picked by man. Therefore, I doubt God thinks any are offending Him if they do not honor this man-picked symbolic date as the birth of Jesus. Apparently it offends you and you have never run into anyone that did not join in your celebration of this honorary birthdate of Jesus. If they do not join in with your celebration, you now claim they have dishonored Jesus.
This is how man distorts the directions of God. There is nothing wrong with celebrating Christmas as Christ's birth and there is nothing wrong with not celebrating the date as his birthdate but instead celebrating the "spirit" of the Christmas season.

But he said "If you deny me, I will deny you".You imply with this statement that the Bushes are denying God?
Read the Bible verse inscribed with the card and please reconsider this ill-founded statement.
