From Cleveland-"Yes, Virginia, there is a 'War on Christmas'."
The battle is over controlling the narrative. And Christians are too often fighting on the wrong side.
The problem is manifestly not that we have "secularized" the birth of Christ. That's a complete red-and-green herring. Jesus himself already did that--his birth celebrates the invasion of human life in all its messy, secular (that is, temporal) splendor by the eternal power and love of God. That, and not cards, carols and candy canes, is the central meaning of Christmas. "Secularize" it? Impossible. God has already secularized it for us.
