In case you were unaware, many warriors feverishly defended Christmas this year from godless and other-godful rabble rousers. As they have succeeded advancing the calendar to this fateful day, what will they do with it? What does “Christmas spirit” look like? Will they lead by example through their wishes of unity and forgiveness, or take sardonic swipes at dissenters?
Stacy Campfield can’t pass by a chance to reprobate his “Democrat friends [sic],” wishing them a “gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice” (that’s for you, Steve!). One of the six meats chimes in with Christmas wishes on behalf of “the spiritually neurotic Jew, the athiest [sic], the Methodist and the rest” (though this neurotic Jew is busy defending Chanukah). Terry Frank recycles last year’s message of small-government-Jesus (Newsflash: Jesus supports tax cuts!)
Fortunately, there are those bloggers who recall the true meaning of the holidays: mass commercialism, nostalgia, mixed messages about grown men’s laps, and, of course, dogs with antlers.

Not that I’m recanting anything I said in the post to which you linked, but said post was from last year and was in response to a “Hey, Religious Wingnut, take this!” article–also from a year ago.
That being said, Happy Holidays, Mike.

Have a Merry Christmas, Ned.
While I’m sure we disagree on 102% of our Ecclesiastical/Talmudic interpretations, I don’t doubt your heart is in the right place. My issue is not with people whose faith dictates many of us are spending eternity aflame, but with those who wish to accelerate our trip there.
