Many Catholic Review readers have probably seen the TV commercial for a certain credit card whose slogan is, “What’s in your wallet?” As we approach the holy day of Christmas and we decorate the outside of our homes, perhaps we should ask “What’s in your yard?” Do your Christmas decorations tell your neighbors you are celebrating the birth of Christ – or “Winter Holiday?”
Wouldn’t it truly be something if all of us who profess to be Catholic Christians would display a Nativity scene on our lawns or front doors, and display fewer inflatable polar bears, penguins and Disney characters?
