Our December cover story is now online: “Christmas, battleground in a culture war.” It notes that trying to get rid of Christmas is nothing new — Oliver Cromwell and the Soviet Union tried to ban the celebration of Christ’s birth. The article concludes, “as Tom Fleming of Chronicles magazine wrote a decade ago, the war against Christmas is at heart battle for the soul of society, secular versus religious. It is yet another battleground in the culture wars.”
