I wish you would go to work on stamping out Christmas stuff appearing in stores and on TV right after the FOURTH OF JULY. I am a Christian and I celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Jesus. Nativity scenes, etc are a minute amount of displays. I find the commercialism of Christmas to be totally disgusting. As a matter-of-fact I wish churches would take the meaning of Christmas back into church and home and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Unfortunately I think churches are as guilty as anyone else of letting the true meaning of Christmas be overrun by secularism.
