Just last week we wrote you about how you can "Help Save Christmas", and you are already reporting back about what is happening in your area. The ACLU has threatened to sue Berkley, Michigan over a nativity scene display which also includes a Star of David, Christmas trees, a Santa Claus figure, a Santa’s Mailbox, and a “Seasons Greetings” sign.

We are also receiving reports about retailers that are ignoring Christmas.

A man from Mississippi reports:

In a town where I work, Lowe's ... has already insulted me with their "Happy Holidays" on everything in the store. Sure there is an angel or two and maybe a small nativity display for sale, but most everything there is "Holiday".

If we ignore these attacks on Christmas that seem small, we will eventually be faced with persecution as our faith is swept from the public square. The secularization of Christmas is nothing new. Christianity Today reported a few years ago that in the Vietnamese province of Dak Lak, children's choirs were forbidden to sing "Silent Night." The Soviet Union eventually folded all Christmas commemorations into New Years celebrations. From 1969 to 1997, Christmas was banned in Cuba. Such examples are endless. It's time to band together and help save Christmas.

Are the "grinches" at work in your town already? We want to hear about it. Send an email to [email protected] and file a "grinch" report!

Don't forget to order some of our Christmas buttons to wear on your clothing, book bags, etc. We expect a large volume of orders by churches and other groups, so order yours early. You can order 10 buttons for $10 or 100 buttons for $50 in the jewelry section of our secure online store or call 800-671-1776. (Of course you can still get our own Help Save Christmas™ action pack that we described in last week's Liberty Alert, for an additional donation of $25 or more).

Another Victory for Good News Clubs

Liberty Counsel has been working with Child Evangelism Fellowship to help clear the legal hurdles to establish high-powered after school programs called "Good News Clubs" in districts all across America. We have reported many victories to you over the years, including successful lawsuits against school districts that have refused to allow CEF to conduct Good News Clubs after school. We recently helped CEF gain equal access to the 38th Street School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a result, many more elementary students will have the opportunity to come to know Christ.
