indyellenI've been pondering this issue for quite some time, and have thought about writing my own essay/diatribe about it. However, other people seem to have beaten me to it:
The Truth About Christmas: The so-called 'War on Christmas' is a nonexistent threat that does more harm than good for the Christian religion. (Found via![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Over intheferrett's domain, we have In Which I Tell You That Everyone's Crazy: The War On Christmas, with follow-up posts here and here.
There's an editorial in the Boston Globe which is good (albeit short & to the point): Whose Holy Day?
And, an article from our local Indianapolis Star, A holiday hot button.
I may not agree with everything in these articles, but it comes down to the fact that, asdimetherwen states in a post from her LJ here (found via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
metaquotes) "As for the "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays" issue... for the love of Pete, everyone. Even if you're Christian, there are still two holidays in this particular season- Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah/Etc. and New Year's. Put that giant yuletide log from your ass and deal with it."
This might not be my most *original* post, but I'll tell you each one of these things really made me think. Feel free to do the same. :)
