Toni said “Thank in denial of fact. When conservatives get upset over you with all our hearts! Our community our modern culture denying that Christmas means rocks!” anything in America and stand up and criticize those who want to keep Christmas in the closet, they are mocked as wing-nut Tea Party people. What would MSNBC have to air if it wasn’t dumping on Chris- tians at Christmas time or on FoxNews - the other 364 days of the year? Back in my youth, the biggest debate was over whether it should be “Christmas” or “Xmas.” We seem to have become more Puritanical all the time. Not those who enjoy celebrating Christmas but those who if they had their way would ban it as the original Puritans actually did in Colonial America. The latest silly assault was reported on Bill O’Reilly’s FoxNews show when he spoke of an adver- tisement that a Catholic children’s hospital in St. Louis wanted to air on ESPN. FoxNews aired the ad that ESPN refused to run. It showed little children at the hospital unwrapping Christmas gifts and the voice over stated that here “we celebrate the birth of Jesus” and believe in “God’s healing power.” This wasn’t a PSA, this was going to be a paid com- mercial for the hospital. ESPN said those phrases were “problematic” and they were rejected by the sports network. Why does Christmas scare so many people and why do the rest of us just accept that mentality silently? There is a home in Roxbury near King Boulevard decorated for Christmas. In between all the decora- tions is a sign boldly stating, “Jesus is the Reason for the Season.” However, within 24 hours of the O’Reilly broadcast on the ESPN commercial ban, the sports network in an email relented and aired the St. Louis children’s hospital TV commercial. This clearly shows that if you stand up to the War on Christmas anything is possible. That says it all!
