Description
On the day after Thanksgiving the holiday shopping season will begin in earnest, we’re told. The media will report retail sales so we’ll know how the commercial holiday is going, people will try to use inoffensive and nonsectarian greetings such as "Happy Holidays," and, predictably, there will be a protest when a Nativity scene goes up at a courthouse. Those who hold the meaning of the season dear will chafe at the commercial and religiously sanitized nature of the holiday.
One reaction is to try making the holiday more religious and more sectarian, as the shopping bag from the Christian bookstore says: "Jesus is the Reason for the Season." In a religiously diverse society, however, this approach is bound to fail.
The first holiday would be called "Nativity" and it would be exclusively religious. Christians would celebrate this holiday, with no expectation that governments or people of other faiths would recognize it.
