You think that they would trade Christmas for NATIONAL WHINING DAY.  \n\nOr trade Easter for stand in line for FREE CHEESE day.\n\nThey don't celebrate Christmas, so I guess they should work.

Of course not! It is the holiday season and if Christmas lights are put up, and seasonal items are being sold, there is bound to be some X-Mas music. There is nothing to be offended about.\n\nHappy Holidays! =)

I am a non Christian but I think it is scandalous that this is being done and being done on purpose. But don't hide your light under the bushels. Correct the guide and write a letter of protest to the person in charge. I think you will have more people on your side than you think. You have already made a start here. And Wal-mart is using the word Christmas again. Inside the Court they want me to swear on the Bible  but when a judge puts up a piece of granite with the ten Commandments on it he loses his job. Stand up for what you believe before it is completely distorted.\nBest of luck, I wish you success.

As an atheist, it would piss me off to no end if they were removed. \n\nAny atheist who has a problem with Christmas or Thanksgiving is a liar. A true atheist doesn't care, as it means nothing to them. \n\nFrankly, I like the food, and the getting together with family thing.

The ACLU should be called the Anti-Christian Liberals Union.  One thing is to stand up for the rights of some poor uneducated person who just got fired for no reason and can't defend himself from the big corporation, etc... but to be so totally against religion that you would proactively and without a single complaint, spend time and effort to stamp out prayer, etc from all government ceremonies, etc., is just insane.  The lawyers who work for and the people who support the ACLU really should look at themselves and ask, "isn't the fact that I am against religion (which in its best form, molds family values and keeps kids from being raised in broken homes, etc.), make me participant to the destruction of the very thing I am trying to protect (the well-being of the average person).  It is actually leading to the deterioration of our values as a society instead of contributing to them.  Don't be fooled... unless you are trash in society, you will never need their help.  Who knows if you are trash?  Not me.  I don't know, but you should... and if you are, you still have a chance to remedy yourself. But remember, once you do, they will no longer be interested in helping you because there will be no news value to it.

Do a search on it but I believe it was created by a Black Panther guy in prison to sway blacks not to celebrate Christmas.

Sorry. That sounds awful. First contact the ACLU and see what they have to say. If the don't help you contact your state BAR Association and ask them to recommend an attorney who will work pro bono (free) or inexpensively so you can file appropriate civil lawsuits. Good luck.

The ratio would be staggering, I'm sure.  That's sad, isn't it?  The holiest of Christian holy days is less of a spectacle than Christmas.  Hmmmm, wait, maybe it's not so bad---Why would they want it to be a spending spree?  Perhaps it's just sad that less attention is paid to it.

Sure. Then let's let every other person who wants to enter into some freak union have at it too. We'll have people marrying monkeys, watermelons, like eight people at a time in some state-sactioned marital gang bang. Sure, what the hell. It'll destroy the fabric of what America was ... but at least we'll be tolerant.\n\nThis is such a stupid question. The whole concept is just off. Just because you WANT to do something and most people think it's okay doesn't mean it automatically allowed. I'm sure the majority of people would condone cheating on their taxes ... let's start shaking our fists in anger and see if we can get that allowed too.\n\nYou see what the ACLU has done to this country? Like Dennis Miller said ... the ACLU will sue to keep you from putting up a nativity display at Christmas and then sue to defend the right of the local stoner who stumbles into the display and wants to screw one of the sheep.\n\nFreaking liberals are RUINING this country!\n\nP.S.\n\nIt's HILARIOUS that you posted a question asking about the consensus on gay marriage in the "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered" section. What in the world did you think the consensus would be?

Jerry Falwell and the ACLU of Virginia, a federal judge strikes down a provision of the Virginia Constitution that bans religious organizations from incorporating.\n\n    January 18, 2002: ACLU defends Christian church's right to run "anti-Santa" ads in Boston subways.\n\nSO I GUESS THAT SHOW THAT CONSERVATIVES ARE WRONG  AND DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHATS REALLY GOING ON WITH THE ACLU OR REFUSES TO UNDERSTAND.
