I’d really like to know.
I live in “Happy Valley” Utah, so maybe me reality isn’t real, but I see nativities all over the place, here Christmas music in stores, see decorations at schools and work, etc. so I wonder if it’s currently just certain parts of the country or I’m just not aware of it?

Minor clergy points out the we shouldn’t care so much about what Wal-Mart does.
]]>PS Thanks Kim… now see if you lived here then you could have shown me how to do that :)
]]>Tara, I think the “war on Christmas” crowd is guilty of what Nibley calls “zeal without knowledge.” They’re well meaning, but underinformared about what’s really going on.
Your mall may continue to decorate to the hilt. You’ll continue to hear Christmas music in stores as long as those stores choose to play it. Schools may not be able to participate in the Christmas season to the degree that they used to, but the public schools were probably more involved in that than they should have been in the first place.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
]]>I, for one, think that we should celebrate Christmas to our heart’s content, without imposing our celebrating on others who do not share our belief in or our enthusiasm for the birth of the Son of God.
]]>I’m always perplexed by people who say their rights are being violated when someone else expresses a religious feeling. How does this harm them? What portioin of anyone’s constitution guarantees a right not to be exposed to the beliefs of others?
]]>I agree wholeheartedly. Now I just have to wait for my “naked-in-public-is-the-highest-form-of-worship” religion to catch on…
