The so called war on Christmas, 12-7-12 commentary

I won't lie to you and tell you I understand everything our culture does. I don't even understand everything my brothers and sisters in Christ do.
Once again this year some are saying there is a war on Christmas. One of the guys who does commentary on one of the all TV - news networks has been attacking people of faith for not demanding that the world give us back Christmas.
One pro family group has come up with the Naughty and Nice Christmas Lists: On the naughty list they name those Retailers who fail to mention or totally disregard Christmas.
Now I will never understand why some followers of Jesus want permission from the government or the the world to honor the savior.
Also what is trying to give the best Christmas gifts or getting the best gifts have to do with Christ.Do people have the spirit of God just because they wish you a Merry Christmas after you buy a computer.
Here are some thoughts I have on this issue.
A. Instead of Boycotting those places who disregard Christmas go spend some money there and wish everyone there in a very Christ like way a blessed Christmas.
B. Accept there is a war on the Christian faith and on Christmas but we are not to respond the way those on TV tells us to. We should use the so called war on Christmas to explain what Christmas is about to us. Think about it on my birthday I don't expect those who don't know me to honor me.Could it be the same with God.
What do you think?
Until next time,
