Today Liberty Counsel is launching its twelfth annual Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign, pledging to be a “Friend” to those who recognize Christmas and a “Foe” to those who censor it.

This year, employees from the Denver Post contacted Liberty Counsel after receiving a memo banning them from writing or using cards that say “Merry Christmas.” Often newspaper carriers will leave Christmas Cards in the mailboxes of those they serve. The Denver Post will provide its postal workers “Holiday Cards” to hand out and threatened anyone giving out different cards with firing. Federal regulations state that employers must make reasonable efforts to accommodate the sincerely held religious beliefs of their employees. It is ludicrous to threaten termination for wishing someone a “Merry Christmas,” a federal holiday.

As part of the annual “Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign,” Liberty Counsel publishes a “Naughty and Nice” list, which catalogs retailers who either censor (“naughty”) or recognize (“nice”) Christmas. Liberty Counsel wants to give the gift of Christmas back to those who support it.

The Help Save Christmas™ action pack includes educational legal memoranda to educate government officials, teachers, parents, students, private businesses, employees, and others that it is legal to celebrate Christmas. The action pack also includes an “I ♥ CHRISTmas™” button, an “I Helped Save Christmas” bumper sticker and button, and sample ads for use in local newspapers.
