 The Real Majority
It is generally recognized that 96% of Americans celebrate Christmas. For one wondrous season, the overwhelming majority of people in the most powerful nation on earth pause to recognize God’s most precious gift to the world—His only Son, a baby sent to earth and born to die for our sins. Granted, not all Americans celebrate Christmas for the same reason. As families gather and gifts are opened, some are unaware that this holiday celebrates the First Gift of the One who would ultimately bring salvation to the world.
This 96% statistic is surprising to many. During the past decade, Americans have been led to believe that the public celebration of Christmas somehow undermines American values of diversity and pluralism. The politically correct crowd sees no particular merit in lifting up Christmas over other holidays that are celebrated by only a handful of Americans.

This Christmas, the Christian Law Association's attorneys have prepared a special series of videos to address some of the most frequently asked questions fielded by our office. "Is it illegal for my community to include religious symbols in its Christmas holiday celebrations?" "Can Christian teachers in public schools legally teach students the true origin of Christmas?" "Can I say 'Merry Christmas' to co-workers at the office?" These and many other commonly asked questions are answered by Attorney David Gibbs III in this informative video series available exclusively on www.christianlaw.org!

 Americans are beginning to forget the important origins of our national Thanksgiving holiday. Its spiritual significance is no longer taught in our nation’s public schools. In fact, most school children today are taught that Thanksgiving originated when the Pilgrims invited their Indian friends to dinner to thank them for providing sustenance after the Mayflower landed. As with much of modern American revisionist history, there really is much more to the story.
Coming to America
The Atlantic crossing in the fall of 1620 had been an extremely
difficult journey for the Pilgrims. For two months, 102 people were
wedged into what was called the “tween decks” of the Mayflower—the
ship’s cargo space with only about five-and-a-half feet of headroom.
No one was allowed above deck because of the terrible storms. This was
no pleasure trip.

 CLA Prayer Policy Vindicated
Praise the Lord that an appellate court in Georgia has upheld the right
of pastors to pray in Jesus Name when they open legislative sessions
with prayer. The appeals court agreed with the U.S. Supreme Court that
“[t]he content of the prayer is not of concern to judges where . .
.there is no indication that the prayer opportunity has been exploited
to proselytize or advance any one, or to disparage any other, faith or
belief.” This is a wonderful Christmas present from the court for all
Americans.
