The Christmas Holiday

If these holidays were originally set aside for special religious observance, shouldn’t we take this opportunity to restore them to that high cause? Why not start with Christmas? I’m not saying we have to give up our traditions, but wouldn’t this be a good time to remember the purpose of the holiday? A day to remember the birth of Jesus, whom many of us, then and now, have accepted as our Lord and Savior?

A time of year to not just sing carols but to put into action their calls for “peace on earth, goodwill to men,” “tidings of comfort and joy,” and even a “Silent night, holy night”? If religion and morality are indispensable supports to our political prosperity, should we not lift them up on these days we, as a people, have set aside as Holy Days?
