• Advent Conspiracy Church Group Fights Christmas Shopping

If it's December, there must be frost in the air, gingerbread in the oven and — right on time — Bill O'Reilly and other defenders of Christmas bemoaning the prevalence of the greeting "Happy Holidays," as opposed to "Merry Christmas."There's a war on Christmas, the conservative commentator recently reminded viewers, driven by those who "loathe the baby Jesus." This season, a holiday-décor company is marketing the CHRIST-mas Tree, a bushy artificial tree with a giant cross where the trunk should be. And the Colorado-based nonprofit Focus on the Family is continuing its Stand for Christmas campaign to highlight the offenses of Christmas-denying retailers. The campaign was launched, according to its website, because "citizens across the nation were growing dissatisfied with the tendency of corporations to omit references to Christmas from holiday promotions."
