Despite the continual ban (or the attempts) on Christmas in many places in the United States (such as here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here) on the good news about Jesus Christ's birth, Christmas will never go away. This was true during the darkest days of communist Russia where Christmas of any kind was banned. It was an attempt to secularize Christmas and sanitize any reference to Jesus Christ's birth or the life, death and life of our Savior.
As we head into 2006, people will continue to try and ban any references to Christmas, even to the ridiculous point of banning colors (red and green) from schools during the Christmas season.
As always, Jesus is the reason for the season and not about pagan rituals whenever December 25 arrives each year. That's the reality.
