<p style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 24px; vertical-align: baseline; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;">Christmas carolers are thrown out of a U.S. Post Office.</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 24px; vertical-align: baseline; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;">The U.S. military apologizes for promoting a Christian-based charity and relief program providing holiday gifts to poor children.</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 24px; vertical-align: baseline; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;">Across the country, Christmas lights, Christmas trees and menorahs are banned in public areas.</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 24px; vertical-align: baseline; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;">Atheists and “free-thinkers” sue cities into submission, forcing removal of all things “Christ” on public property during the Christian holiday.</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 24px; vertical-align: baseline; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;">Is the nation that puts “In God We Trust” on its currency at war with Christmas?</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 24px; vertical-align: baseline; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;">“I think people mistake tolerance for muzzling,” Andrew Walther, vice president of communications for Knights of Columbus, a group that has been at the forefront of the campaign to “Keep Christ in Christmas” for more than five decades, told WND. “The entire point of the First Amendment, to have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, is that we can practice our faith and we can speak publicly about things that matter to us.”</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 24px; vertical-align: baseline; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;">According to a new survey, nearly two-thirds of Americans agree and want to “keep Christ in Christmas.” A Knights of Columbus-Marist Poll of 1,026 adults found 64 percent of Americans favor a greeting of “Merry Christmas” – an increase of three percent over last year – while 31 percent prefer “Happy Holidays” and four percent are unsure.</p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 24px; vertical-align: baseline; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-width: 0px; padding: 0px;">“I don’t really understand where the anti-Christmas fervor comes from, and I don’t think it’s a nod in the direction of tolerance to be quiet in the face of people who are calling for the banning of something most Americans celebrate,” Walther said. “Tolerance demands that we get to celebrate our holy day and talk about it and we don’t have to take that out of the public square or be quiet about it because it’s our constitutional right to do that.”</p>
