I’ve never been entirely comfortable with the Holiday vs. Christmas debate. I’ve said “best wishes for the holidays,” as a sign off more than once and I’ve never seriously considered that that might be code indicating that I’m anti-Christian or hypersecularized. This White House Christmas card flap noted in the Washington Post just seems silly (dogs are frolicking in White House snow on the card’s cover and the word “holiday” appears inside). It is a matter of degrees of course. There are some legitimate fights people out there are having about getting their Nativity scene outside a city hall building and the like–and the Capitol Christmas tree should be a Christmas tree, or don’t bother with one–but George and Laura Bush, I am confident, are not trying to keep Christ out of Christmas.
