One of the most disturbing emails I have gotten recently

This is a message from my friend who was mayor in Lubbock, Windy Sitton. She attended all the White House Christmas parties during both Bush years. This is a personal message to me and not a "scare tactic" from unknowns on the internet. Pretty much says it all.

Thought you might be interested in this information from the White House. This isn't a rumor; this is a fact.

We have a friend at church who is a very talented artist. For several years she, among many others, has painted ornaments to be hung on the various White House Christmas trees. The White House sends out an invitation to send an ornament and informs the artists of the theme for the year

She got her letter from the White House recently. It said that they would not be called Christmas trees this year. They will be called Holiday trees. And, to please not send any ornaments painted with a religious theme.

She was very upset at this development and sent back a reply telling them that she painted the ornaments for Christmas trees and would not be sending any for display that left Christ out of Christmas.

Just thought you should know what the new residents in the White House (the Obamas) plan for the future of America. If you missed his statement that "we do not consider ourselves a Christian Nation" this should confirm that he plans to take us away from our religious foundation as quickly as possible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I would say this to the Obamas; if you guys want to call it a holiday tree instead of a Christmas tree go right ahead. If you want to observe Christmas as something other than a Christian holiday go right ahead. But if you choose to do so, by all means please call it something other than Christmas. Christmas is a holiday celebrated by Christians and patriotic Americans who understand and appreciate its historical origins. And Mr. President, since it appears you are neither Christian or American, feel free to observe whatever you wish on December 25 and call it whatever you wish. As for me and my family, and most if not all patriotic Americans, we will observe Christmas by celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ as was intended. And neither you nor any of your cronies in Washington, not any legislation or government edict will hinder or prevent me from doing so.

So with that I will say this; I know its a little early, but Merry CHRISTmas Mr. President. And if the reference to Christ somehow bothers or oddends you, GOOD! Your attempts to take Christ out of Christmas and out of America at large offends and disgusts me, so we are even. You disgust me.
