Congress Says Christmas Should be Respected
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution
Thursday aimed at protecting the symbols and traditions of
Christmas.
Introduced by Rep. Jo Ann Davis, R-Va., H. Res. 579 is
non-binding and does not carry the force of the law. It
does express the attitude of the House that Christmas
should not be excised from the public square.
Davis pointed out that, despite the fact that 96 percent
of Americans celebrate Christmas, the attack on Christmas
is being led by Madison Avenue, Wall Street, lawyers,
politicians, educators and the media.
"The push toward a neutered 'holiday' season is twisting
America's favorite holiday beyond recognition," she said.
"Yes, Virginia, there is an attack on Christmas."
Ironically, she said, many retailers that flood the mail
with catalogs and advertisements urging us to purchase
gifts for Christmas have done away with using the words
"Merry Christmas."
