CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN

Submitted by ub on

Look, folks, we are in the final countdown and it is a fine time for #CityImages to say there are just a few before Christmas Day. 

Social media Is being overrun with stolen, AI-generated images some people think are the real deal, except this one above believe it or don't at your own risk. The once-prophesized future where trash content floods out the hard work of real humans is here and is already taking over the internet.

We all know that our nation has carefully separated church from state, but some are wondering: Why Christmas is a federal holiday? Doesn't that violate the First Amendment?

The Freedom Forum explores this hot-button issue. The First Amendment’s establishment clause prohibits the government from favoring one religion (or nonreligion) over the other. This separation of church and state means the government cannot establish a state religion or “endorse” a particular religion.

And yet, Christmas is a federal holiday. Christmas, a day celebrating the birth of Jesus, whom Christians regard as the Messiah, is the only religious holiday with such status. Other major holidays, such as Yom Kippur (Jewish), Eid Al-Fitr (Muslim), and Diwali (Hindu), remain normal days on the federal government calendar.

So, what makes Christmas different? America is not a Christian nation, so why is Christmas a federal holiday? Is this even constitutional?

According to the courts: Yes, it is. Judges have ruled time and again that Christmas’ federal holiday status does not violate the Establishment Clause. But perhaps not for the reasons you think.  MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL 🙏 MAY YOUR WISHES BE REALIZED.

Remember what Christmas is about. Spread kindness because giving is better than receiving during the Christmas holidays.

The Secret Santa Club at an Arizona elementary school teacher who uses inspirational stories as lessons in kindness and character made a huge impression on his students with the tale of Secret Santa, a wealthy, anonymous businessman who annually gives out hundreds of $100 bills to strangers. That motivated the kids to raise $8,000 – and then give it all away.
