Justin Lee of the Gay Christian Network discusses why Christians should avoid The War on Christmas. He gives several reasons.
* There are many holidays in December. Wishing people a generic "Happy Holidays" includes them too. It is respectful of non-Christians.
* Forcing people to refer to an event centered on Jesus when they don't believe in him is like taking God's name in vain (and there is a Top Ten against that).
* Jesus is not an unpaid celebrity endorser for Wal-Mart, so it is better to leave him out of a secular practice -- what does buying a flat-screen TV have to do with Christmas anyway?
* So many Christian traditions (the date, the tree, etc.) had pagan beginnings, so Jesus isn't entirely the "reason for the season."
