Christmas Hypocrisy

An excerpt from an article "To save Christmas, change the date" by Charles C. Haynes, senior scholar at the First Amendment Center:

Because Christmas falls on Sunday this year, some prominent evangelical churches canceled worship services, expecting low attendance. This surprising turn of events might inspire Christian warriors fighting to "save Christmas" to rethink their strategy. Rather than condemn the "happy holiday" speck in Wal-Mart's eye, they might notice the Yule log in their own.

Well, worth a read. I'm not in the camp of rock throwers railing against churches that canceled some or all of their services for Christmas, but it is ironic that it is most likely those same parishoners and pastors who are protesting the omission of Christ from Christmas. Any way you slice it, it's hypocritcal.
