The December Wars
by Albert J. Menendez
In an age of "political correctness", Christmas has metamorphosed into our most controversial holiday. Each year brings new court battles over nativity scenes on public property and acrimony in the public schools. Menendez traces this dispute as far back as the 4th century, when Catholic Orthodoxy used Christmas as a major propaganda tool and a political issue as well as a religious observance.

by Penne L. Restad
