I'm willing to bet that President Obama's Christmas address this week will shine with religious significance about as bright as his unusually short Thanksgiving Proclamation, which gave a token reference to God via a quote from George Washington.
Even in Obama's superstar Christmas interviews with Oprah and Gloria Estefan, there were discussions about Santa, Christmas trees, ornaments, gingerbread houses and even their dog's Christmas stocking.
Obama even gave a Christmas shout-out to all Hispanics. But there was not one discussion of religion or a hint of the real reason for the season. Gone are the days when presidents and most politicians publicly rejoice in the birth of Christ. But things were not always this way. As with many of you, I still remember a day even in Washington when Christ was central to Christmas.
It was an America that was far less politically correct - an America that wasn't afraid to stand up for its belief in the babe who was born in Bethlehem.
Here's a small sample of that America represented in personal and public presidential Christmas proclamations and events, as documented in presidential library archives, at White House ChristmasCards.com and by historian David Barton in his treatise "Christmas with the presidents."
