The Season of the GRINCH: Is it WRONG to Celebrate Christmas?

It would seem that Grinches come in all shapes and varieties: some (expectedly) from the secular realm (e.g., the ACLU), and others (perhaps less expectedly) from professing Christian circles. This message is offered chiefly as a response to the latter group--who are often sincere & devout people who are concerned by lingering concerns with regard to the alleged "paganism" & "popery" associated with the celebration of Christmas. We hope that this message will serve to liberate some to be able to participate in the joy of the season and join in the godly & wholesome celebration that the angels and the shepherds inaugurated some 2,000 years ago (Luke 2:13-14, 20)!
