Well, go ahead, whatever lights up your life.
But even more misguided (and better organized) people than you have tried to "upset" the ACLU with this sort of stunt - and it's backfired on them. (Although you'll never hear about it on FAUX News, or any of the wacko anti-ACLu websites)
I know you're not going to believe me, but this won't result in them feeling intimidated. And it also won't make you look intelligent or be a good witness to Jesus' message.
This is what happened a couple of years ago:
"Last December, a group called Public Advocate for the United States (which claims to defend America's traditional family values) sent some Christmas carolers over to sing in front of the ACLU offices in Washington.
Carrying signs reading "Merry Christmas" and "Please Don't Sue Us!" — they also seem to have carried with them some rather strange imaginings about an assault on Christmas.
I don't know what the carolers thought might happen.
To tell the truth, the ACLU is not often serenaded by Christmas carolers. So it was with some excitement that the staff went outside and joined in the singing. They brought with them cookies and warm drinks to share. One staff member, who is an ordained Baptist minister, did a little witnessing about his faith to some astonished proponents of family values.
Fox News did broadcast the event (as a part of its "war against Christmas" campaign). Although the visiting singers were shown, the cameras failed to include any footage showing that everyone had participated in the caroling. Rather than reporting the facts, the anchor preferred the propaganda: "We believe the ACLU heard the message loud and clear, but they don't care." "

You do remember the Commandment about "not bearing false witness" don't you? Because that's exactly what Christians are doing every time they post this untrue and thoroughly disproven chain letter.
Inventing a lie about an organization (that the ACLU is try to ban Christmas) that you disagree with and then using that lie to propogate and encourage a harassment campaign against that organization is, ignorant, childish, and does nothing to counter the idea that Christians are a bunch of petty, spiteful bigots (which is sad, because I'd like to think that that only applies to a minority of them).
The biggest consolation of course is that you and your fellow card-sending sheeple are completely wasting your time, and hopefully in a way that keeps you indoors and out of everyone's hair until Xmas is over.

All that is missing from this is the throwing yourself on the floor, pounding your hands drumming your feet on the floor while you hold your breath and turn blue, interspersed with "I won't act like an adult, I won't, I won't, I won't!".
Happy Holidays to you and yours
