The Holiday Spirit
Mon Dec 04 2006

I got a chuckle listening to the morning radio show I listen to this morning. The personalities on the show were talking about sending Christmas cards to the ACLU. The folks on the radio referenced this website about the subject.

I guess this actually started several years back, but is resurrected each winter. People are challenged to send faith-oriented holiday greeting cards to the ACLU. Whether you observe Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa or any other faith-oriented holiday throughout the year, send a cheerful (and polite) card to the ACLU. Be sure that it is NOT one of those generic, non-specific greeting cards, but one full of religious overtones.

While I don't know if it would really affect the ACLU one way or the other, I think it’s a WONDERFUL idea! I'm tired of being told I can't pray in school, or most other public places. I'm tired of hearing about lawsuits to ban any type of faith oriented observance in a public forum. The US was founded on faith-oriented principles. Why should a few non-believers be catered to and rights denied to those who do observe any one of the many religions believed in today?

So go ahead, when making out your cards this year, don’t forget the ACLU:

ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York, NY 10004

This subject reminded me of a bumper sticker I saw a few years back (and would love to get for my car). As long as there are tests in school, there will be prayer in school

    Oh, you made my day!

    We keep getting mailings from them, and send them back with requests to take us off the list.

    Maybe THIS would do the trick!!!!!

    HUG!

    Hey girl, haven't been around much, but I've just caught up on your happenings :)

    Hope the 30 pound Turkey was as delicious as it sounds :)
    I've never had a white Christmas, or even a white December - I must get myself to the Northern Hemisphere to experience it one of these days!
    I love the new background, very festive without being over the top - not sure if that's the look you're going for or not :)
    Loved the bumper sticker quote...so true, so true :)
