USA Today

This is Austin, a new team member. I'm a little spy, looking out for the attempts of our society and specific organizations to remove Christ completely from Christmas and our culture in general.

Check out this article by USA Today about Christians who are fighting to put Christ back into Christmas:

Now that's bold! In case you missed it, this lady was so fed up with the removal of Christ from Christmas that she brought a cake to her son's school that said, "Happy Birthday Jesus". That's bold, right there.

Message from Target: Merry Christmas?

With un-traditional music and decorations, the latest Target television commercial (which I saw a few days ago) is hardly overtly pro-Christmas. Yet, the company does flash the two magical words of the 2006 holiday season--"Merry Christmas"--at the end of the spot, right beneath its famous logo. The words are on there for about a total of three seconds, and they're almost hard to read. Nevertheless, it's progress.

Remember, this is the same Target store that has in the past banned Salvation Army Santas from standing outside the store. (I don't know if that ban is still in effect, or not.)

Hmm....Confusing...We'll have to keep an eye on this one.
