Throughout history there exists an ongoing battle over what cultures celebrate and why. In recent American history the battle lines are often described as pro and anti-Christian. America once was content in allowing civil authorities to select and define its holidays. With the increasing influence of groups which use the courts to challenge any comingling of religion and the function of government, the definition of the some of the nation’s holidays have become a war zone.
And while most Americans think of Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas as Christian holidays — history is clear that Easter and Christmas were originally pagan celebrations, stolen and redefined.
This leaves Thanksgiving as the one American holiday originating within Christian culture. It is a holiday created to remind a nation to thank God. So while talk-show hosts expound upon a war on Christmas — let’s not ignore the war on the one true Christian holiday, Thanksgiving.
