I'm as opposed as the next fellow to the cultural war on Christmas, but in this instance I think both Midwest Mom and CVgal are raising much ado about nothing.

There is no "cultural war on Christmas." It's just a persecution fantasy made up by paranoid Christians to use as an excuse to inject more so-called "Christianity" into the public spotlight.

[Mark Beesley]

I shouldn't think we would have any problem using the term Holiday, or the shortened designation of X-mas. After all, it is consistent with Scripture.

But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they, the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or the Melchizedek Priesthood.

D&C 107:4

I am reasonably certain the Lord and those who care know what we are celebrating.
