1. Are they actually calling it "the WAR on Christmas?"

please tell me they're not trivializing the real war that so many of our kids are over there fighting with this diversionary idea of a "war" on Christmas.

2. I have a friend who is a flight attendant

A bread and butter, diehard Democrat, party line voter, who has interacted with him on flights on a number of occasions.

Off camera, my friend reports that Old Cal is (and this is rather surprising to me) a polite, considerate, soft-spoken individual, of the please-and-thank-you variety.

Except for that GOP blind spot, perhaps he was raised right...

And looking at the large landscape of it all, I guess the latest imbroglio over that little US government phone tapping, enemies list business kinda puts yer Happy Friken Holidays/Merry Goddamned Xmas issues on the back burner....!!! Ho, ho, ho...indeed!!

3. Cal Thomas has shown signs of waking from his stupor

more than one time within the past six months. I've been utterly gobsmacked at some of the stuff he's written lately.

I guess the Koolaid wears off if you don't keep drinking it every day.

4. Yeah, but he's wrong about Christmas

Christmas IS about the lights on the tree, and giving gifts, and parties. It's NEVER been about Jeebus. The church co-opted it in order to do something with the official Roman holiday at that time of year. Jesus is NOT the freakin' reason for the season, and it's a bunch of revisionist malarkey to claim he is.

If there'd never been a Christian church, we'd still be celebrating Yule or Saturnalia or whatever you want to call it, with caroling and parties and gifts and lighted trees.
