Christmas has issues with the 2nd and 4th Commandments, but what about the 3rd? This is piggy-backing on the thread about what makes a day holy. The defense "It's not a holy day" brings the immediate question, Then why is it called "Christmas"? If "Christmas" is not a holy day, it seems that defenders are taking the name of the Lord Christ in vain.
Surely someone on the PB or some Puritan writer has been down this path before, and has more developed thoughts about it than mine. Anyone?
Indeed, it seems that the word "Christmas," with that idolatrous root, could be a 3CV within itself.
