Christmas Ranks First Among America’s Holidays … Joy to the World, the Lord has Come

Much to the chagrin of the politically correct and those who wage a war on Christmas, the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ is considered the most important holiday for Americans. 67% of American adults consider Christmas one of the nation’s most important holidays. Actually, Joy to the World, the Lord has Come is rated the #1 holiday as most Americans consider Jesus the son of God .

 O Holy Night- Josh Groban 

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 67% of American Adults consider Christmas one of the nation’s most important holidays, showing little change from last year and consistent with surveys stretching back to December 2006. Only six percent (6%) see Christmas as one of the least important holidays, while 24% rate it somewhere in between.

Of the 88% of Americans who celebrate Christmas 81% celebrate it as a religious holiday. What a novel concept, celebrating Christmas as the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and not in a secular manner. In a further backlash against the PC police, secularists, those who wage the war against Christmas and those who have no concept of separation of Church and State, 79% of Americans say that religious holidays should be celebrated in public schools. Also, 70% of Americans prefer ‘Merry Christmas’ over ‘Happy Holidays’ on store signs which can explain the reason why more stores are making the effort to do so.

The PC folks and those who wage a war on all religion are about to face a backlash and swing of the pendulum. More and more Americans are fed up with the secularists as 79% see “Political Correctness” as a serious problem in America. Honestly, if we continue along the insane PC ways, it will be the death of us.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Luke 2:7-20

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes , and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field , keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo , the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid . 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold , I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes , lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying , 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass , as the angels were gone away from them into heaven , the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass , which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste , and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

Hark the Herald Angel Sing, Glory to the New Born King

Hark the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled”
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem”
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field , keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo , the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid . 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold , I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Some Christmas Eve Day Fun with TSO, Trans-Siberian Orchestra … Christmas Canon Rock, Christmas Eve/Sarajevo & O Come All Ye Faithful/O Holy Night

As Christmas Eve is almost upon us and we await “Glory to the new born King,” I just wanted to take a moment to get away from all the crazy and insane stories in the news where people really need a reality check. Enter TSO, the Tran-Siberian Orchestra for your music enjoyment.

If you have never seen TSO live, I urge you to do so, you will not be disappointed. Once you have gone to one of their shows, you will go back again, again, and again. Sorry, it must be a flashback to my 80′s heavy metal days, but there is nothing like a Christmas Carol played with a flying V with a whammy bar. Those of us who remember TSO from the early days, remember Savatage.

Christmas Canon Rock

Here is the song that started it all off for TSO, Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo. However, the LIVE version is so much better. TSO never gets old … ENJOY!!!

SANTA: NO, NO, NO: The War on Christmas Continues … Massachusetts school system Bans Santa from Visiting Elementary Schools over Religious Concerns

The LEFT has escalated the war on Christmas to include Santa as well. If it were up to the LEFT, Santa would say, No, No, No.

Dateline Saugua, MASS …  Massachusetts school system has banned Santa Claus from visiting elementary school children because of religious concerns. WHAT???!!! Since when is Santa religious? Schools and governments have previously banned Christ, Nativity scenes and the baby Jesus from all schools because of religious reasons, now SANTA?

Since 1960 firefighters in the town of Saugus dressed up like Santa Claus and visited every elementary school handing out coloring books. But on Monday, the school superintendent told firefighters that they would not be welcomed into the classrooms.

Watch out Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman, you are next on the LEFT’s hit list to be banned for religious concerns. After that, Heat Miser and the Burger Meister will be next. It has become rather obvious that the LEFT just wants ro ban Christmas altogether and any aspect of it. Deep down inside, even with secular representations of Christmas like Santa, the LEFT knows what the “reason for the season” represents, the birth of Jesus Christ. The LEFT will stop at nothing to rid Christmas and Christianity from our society.

Tis the Season … Santa Claus Dressed as Skeleton, Nailed to a Cross Removed from Public Christmas Display

Some things are beyond words. So a Nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus Christ is offensive, but a skeleton dressed as Santa Claus nailed to a cross is not! Is this how low we have become in the US in our efforts to promote PC?

The War on Christmas continues as it is far game to offend Christianity. So only certain types of offensive free speech are allowed? Needless to say, an offended member of the community took down the offensive display.

The annual Leesburg dispute over holiday displays is getting as predictable as the rush of shoppers on Black Friday.

A skeleton, dressed as Santa Claus, nailed to a cross, was torn down by an enraged woman outside of the Loudoun County Courthouse.

The display was legally there, with the consent of the county, officials said.

Mary Czarnecki, a county resident, wasn’t having it. She, piece by piece and bone by bone, took “Skele-Claus” off the cross and laid him on the courthouse’s lawn.

“You don’t think this is offensive?”

The individual, Jeff Heflin, actually applied for approval with the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors to put up his anti-Christmas Season display.  He stated that his Christmas display “depicts how society’s materialistic obsessions and addictions are killing the season’s peace, love, joy and kindness.” Really?

I wonder what Church Jeff Heflin belongs to?

Oh, but get this … open minded words from an Atheist. This hypoctit says that people should keep an open mind about the skeleton dressed Santa. Really? WHERE IS THE ATHEISTS OPEN MIND WHEN IT COMES TO NATIVITY SCENES? ISN’T THIS WHAT HAS CAUSED THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS PROBLEM IN AMERICA … NON-BELIEVERS LACK OF AN OPEN MIND AND SUING CHRIST OUT OF CHRISTMAS!!!

The leader of the Northern Virginia Atheists, Rick Wingrove, says tearing down the display was illegal, and people should keep an open mind.

“Offense is in the eye of the beholder. We’re offended by the religious displays on government  property. We think it’s constitutionally improper,” Wingrove said.

War on Christmas … Rhode Island Outraged Over Gov. Lincoln Chafee’s “Holiday Tree”

Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee, the Grinch who stole “Christmas” from the Christmas tree.

Yet another foolish PC politician and the war on Christmas. Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee decided to call the state tree a “holiday” tree and not what it obviously is, a Christmas tree.  Just curious Gov. Chaffee, what would you call a Menorah at the State House, holiday candle sticks?

A Rhode Island lawmaker is calling Gov. Lincoln Chafee “Governor Grinch” after he defied lawmakers and decided that the state would have a “holiday tree” instead of a “Christmas tree.”

The governor defended his decision by arguing that it is in keeping with the state’s founding in 1636 by religious dissident Roger Williams as a haven for tolerance – where government and religion were kept separate.

Question: Dear foolish mr. Governor, you know how you know it is a “CHRISTMAS TREE”?

Answer: The tree was donated to the state by Big John Leyden’s Christmas Tree Farm in West Greenwich, RI. What part about Christmas tree farm don’t you quite understand?

Glory to the newborn King, born is the Prince of Peace! A Merry Blessed Christmas to all …

Hark the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild

Psycho Westboro Baptist Church – Santa Claus Will Take You to Hell, Is This Child Abuse?

Oh Dear God … these people do not know what they do. As we prepare to issue in the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the birth of Peace and that there is still much misguided hate in this world in the Lord’s name …

The Westboro Baptist nuts are at it again. This time their hate is done with children singing “Santa Claus in Comin’ to Town” to the changed lyrics of “Santa Claus Will Take You to Hell”. UNREAL. If  its not bad enough that the hate-filled and misguided adults of the Westboro Baptist church protest militart hero’s funerals, now they are spreading their hate to their children. Is this not a form of child abuse? Seriously, what chance do this kids have living in the psychological brainwashing and abuse?

The following VIDEO might be the most heinous and shameless thing that the Westboro Baptists have done. While having children sing a Christmas song filled with references of God’s hate, rape, Santa is Satan, killing of soldiers and having kids holding some of the most vile signs ever … I am at a loss.  We post this VIDEO to let all know what hate looks like. These children need to be saved.

Some of the hideous lines from the Westboro insano song is  as follows. A note to the Westboro Baptist Church and their misguided flock, becareful of what you say and what you ask for, one day you will stand before God and I hardly think he is impressed.

You better watch out, get ready to cry
You better go hide I’m telling you why, cuz Sanata Claus will take you to Hell
He is your favorite idol, You worship at his feet,
But when you stand before your God, He won’t help you take the heat.

So get this fact straight, You’re feeling God’s hate
Santa’s to blame for the economy’s fate
Santa Claus will take you to hell.

…

So get this fact straight, You’re feeling God’s hate
Santa’s to blame for the dead soldier’s fate.
Santa Claus will take you to hell.

Let us know, do you thin k that this is child abuse? 

During this Christmas season, here is a lesson to the misguided folks at Westboro. This is what its all about. The below VIDEO is what children should be exposed to when growing up. With all that this little girl has been through, Jesus and the Lord mean love and eternal hope. Listen to Amber Thompson sing ‘Away in a Manger’ at the 2:12 mark of the video, WOW!

Senator Robert Menendez (NJ-D) Makes the Naughty List in his Letter to Santa Claus … Global Warming & The North Pole

Ever wonder how you get on Santa’s naughty list?

New Jersey Democrat Senator Robert Menedez wrote a letter to Santa about global warming and the North Pole. Yes, that is correct, this nimrod actually wrote a global warming letter to Santa Claus. How do these people continually get elected. Hey Jersey, wake up and boot this fool out as soon as you can. Not even Al Gore has the audacity to do such a thing.

Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight …

Dear Santa Claus,

I am writing out of concern, because you may have to move from the North Pole due to the dramatic melting of Arctic sea ice. The Navy’s chief oceanographer says that by the summer of 2020 the North Pole may not have summer ice and other scientists project that an ice-free Arctic is possible as soon as 2012!

Scientists overwhelmingly agree that polar ice is melting because of greenhouse gas pollution and I am working hard to reduce these emissions. But there is probably nothing we can do in time to save the North Pole. I am worried about your safety and your ability to deliver billions of Christmas gifts if the ice cap on the North Pole no longer stays frozen all year. What will happen to your house, your workshop, the elves’ houses and your reindeer barns? (read the resy of this dribble at the HuffPo)

Yeah, what Weasel Zippers said, I have been wondering the same for years.

Global warming, didn’t Menendez read the following article that states that another ice age is on the way? Santa may not have too much time to read the NJ Senator’s letter because he is too busy trying to figure out how he Rudolph  and his reindeer are going to get through all the snow and frigid cold weather in Great Britain.  Santa probably thinks that the overly white Christmas in Europe might be more pressing than Menendez’s letter. Santa finally had to use the Senator’s letter to line the his bird cage when learning that there was going to be snow in South Town this year.

An interesting take by Doug Powers and the Powers that Be via Michelle Malkin.com and why would a Democrat like Robert Menendez even care about Santa.

Since when does a self-respecting Democrat care about St. Nick, anyway? Santa Claus is a morbidly obese future burden on the health care system who utilizes animal slave labor and vertically-challenged sweatshop workers who are paid well below a living wage in a non-union environment to manufacture and deliver toys that are fraught with small-part choking hazards that may promote violence. Democrats should be more than happy to see Santa forced to move down here where he’ll be more easily regulated and they can confiscate their fair share of the presents.

Mr White Christmas is Going to win out over Heat Miser This Year … Predicted Snow in South Town

It looks like Mr. White Christmas is going to win out of Heat Miser this year in South Town.  Many are predicting a weekend snow storm from the South all the way up the eastern seaboard. Because of a more southern track and push of cold air raises the “possibility” of some snow for Southern cities such as Birmingham, Atlanta and Charlotte.

The new, slower storm idea, now being adopted by AccuWeather.com, would still have disruptive snow pushing across the northern Plains and mid-Mississippi Valley into Christmas Eve, then during the nighttime hours farther east over part of the Ohio and Tennessee valleys.

The possibility of snow in part of the South comes more on Christmas Day.

According to meteorologist and Southern weather veteran Mark Mancuso, “A number of features have to come together for accumulating snow in the South.”

I’m Mr. White Christmas, I’m Mr. Snow … I’m Mr. icicle, I’m Mr. 10 below.
Friends call me snow miser, whatever I touch, turns to snow in my clutch. I’m too much
