Newsmap is running an article from USA Today saying:
Because Christmas falls on Sunday this year, some churches are opting to close that day so that families can spend the morning together at home.
Among the nation's top 20 largest Protestant churches — as ranked by Outreach Magazine — three will be closed on Christmas, and 10 will be having only one service, The Tennessean reports.
Sure enough, this page from LifeChurch.TV shows services at their locations on Christmas Eve, but not Christmas, and, as I write this, the home page of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta has this text:
Christmas Eve Services
Gather your loved ones and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with us at one of our Christmas Eve morning services, at 10 a.m. or 11:30 a.m. No services on Christmas Day.
So who, exactly, is taking the Christ out of Christmas? Don't blame it on us atheists!
Or maybe it's a sign that the world really is going to end in 2012.
