Product Description
Yes, Virginia, there is a war on Christmas. It’s the secularization of America’s favorite holiday and the ever-stronger push toward a neutered "holiday" season so that non-Christians won’t be even the slightest bit offended.

Traditionalists get upset when they’re told—more and more these days—that celebrating Christmas in any public way is a violation of church and state separation. That is certainly not what the founders intended when they wrote, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

John Gibson, a popular anchor for the Fox News Channel, has been digging up evidence about the liberal activists, lawyers, politicians, educators, and media people who are leading the war on Christmas. And he reveals that the situation is worse than you can imagine. For instance:

• In Illinois, state government workers were forbidden from saying the words "Merry Christmas" while at work
• In Rhode Island, local officials banned Christians from participating in a public project to decorate the lawn of City Hall
• A New Jersey school banned even instrumental versions of traditional Christmas carols
• Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project

Millions of Americans are starting to fight back against the secularist forces and against local officials who would rather surrender than be seen as politically incorrect. Gibson shows readers how they can help save Christmas from being twisted beyond recognition, with even the slightest reference to Jesus completely disappearing.

The annual debate will be hotter than ever in 2005, and this book will be perfect for everyone who’s pro-Christmas.

From the Back Cover
"Mr. Gibson deserves great credit for calling attention to a growing problem."
—Michael J. Gaynor, Theconservativevoice.com

"John Gibson, gutsy anchor of Fox News’ The Big Story, is to be commended for titling his latest book The War on Christmas, for as Gibson shows, the attempt by certain groups to prohibit Christmas displays is not simply an academic difference . . . but a desire by anti- Christians, to stamp out of society any reference to Christmas."
—Rabbi Aryeh Spero, Human Events Online

"Gibson’s book is an interesting read for all of us who are concerned that our rights to practice our faith in daily life are being eroded to such an extent that we must hide behind closed doors to celebrate a traditional holiday."
—Stephen Strang --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Jewish Lady Loving Christmas, November 1, 2005
Aside from enjoying Mr. Gibson both as an author and commentator, this particular book was right on target. Not being a Christian, I don't celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, but I love the spirit of love and peace, comfort and joy that only happens this particular holiday. The "bah humbug" crowd find if you're happy and want to share that happiness there must be something wrong. Tough. So, let me take this time to thank John Gibson and wish all people, if not the religious aspect, then the fun of the Christmas season: bright lights, good food and coming together with friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muslim for Gibson, November 1, 2005
I was raised a muslim. I was devout follower and strict adherent to this religion for many years. When the attack on the twin towers occurred I converted from a believer and obsequious disciple of islam to Chriustianity. Christ taught charity and kindness and islam is a philosophy of hatred and control. Not many from the media have the courage to describe this barbaric and inhumane way of life for what it is. Mr. John Gibson is not afraid. Of all media personaliies, he is my hero. I love his book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Santa's Helpers vindicated! , October 27, 2005
We Santa's Helpers are finally vindicated! Mr. Gibson really nails this one. I remember how fun Christmas was in school when I was little. Now my daughter's school is almost a no-speak holiday. They even changed the "Santa's Work Shop" (where children could shop for Christmas gifts at the school) to "The Gingerbread Shop". You can shop for holiday presents, just not Christmas presents. I am glad John Gibson's brings this anti-Christmas agenda into the light.
