In this holiday season, you’ve probably heard someone extol the benefits of either keeping Christ in Christmas, or putting the Christ back in Christmas. There is some logic in my daughter’s thought process. Not a lot, because she is related to me. Since both Christmas and Easter contain elements unrelated to divinity, my daughter thinks we should take the Christ out of Christmas and out of Easter and have a holiday devoted to Christ and nothing else. No Christmas trees, no gifts, no Easter Bunnies or bonnets. I suggested we have that holiday in August. We need at least one holiday in August and we really don’t need more than one in either November or February.
