Christmas has historically been one of the most celebrated holidays of the American people. In recent years, misconceptions and controversy about the so-called “separation of church and state” and the celebration of Christmas has led many school administrators and public officials to “remove Christ from Christmas” in places such as schools, parks, libraries, courthouse or town hall lawns, and government offices. The open celebration of Christmas is increasingly absent from the public square.
This was not the intent of the Founding Fathers. In fact, the Supreme Court has never ruled that the Constitution requires government officials to censor Christmas carols or displays, eliminate all references to Christmas, or silence those who celebrate Christ’s birth.
