American Family Association reports that our taking time to get involved in the “holiday parade” has influenced Dominion Services and Richmond, Virginia, parade organizers to reverse an earlier decision to replace “Christmas” with “holiday.”
Late on the afternoon of October 5th, after thousands of emails and hundreds of phone calls to Dominion, parade organizers yielded to Christian opinion and posted a statement on their website stating, “In light of the outpouring of support for retaining ‘Christmas’ in the name, our board has voted to change the name to the ‘Dominion Christmas Parade.'”
Beloved in Christ, businesses need to know you stand for the true the meaning of Christmas. As Christians, we can remind everyone that Christ is the true meaning of Christmas by being a witness.
Thanks to AFA for their coverage and organizing a response.

What challenge should we tackle next?
Ed, Somehow I think that this is not thelast we have heard of this sort of thing. Be ready with drawn pen (or e-mail) to speak truth in charity to this nonsense.
