In Christmas service sermons across Christian churches, we will hear this repeated over and over again. We’re saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again.” In a rally in Utah this month, Trump told the attendees in his limited vocabulary style, “Christmas is back, bigger, and better than ever before. We are bringing Christmas back.” There’s even a TV commercial thanking President Trump “for letting us say Merry Christmas again.” I cannot remember when we were not allowed to say “Merry Christmas!” It is a fake battle fought by the Christian right. It seems to me that the Christian church is more interested in winning rhetorical battles than affecting meaningful change. I suspect many people who attended Christmas services did not hear this.
