re: #253 Ian G.

I’d also add “why is it that hyper-religious right-wingers have no problem celebrating the birth of their savior by…..putting a boreal tree in their house, decorating it with lights, and waiting for a fat man from the arctic to bring gifts?”

I dunno, that would seem to me a trivialization of a major religious event. But what do I know?

Don’t forget about enabling said fat man with cookies. The irony though to me anyhow is the theological ancestors of the people who now cry about Happy Holidays are the people who didn’t want Christmas celebrated at all in the fashion we do today.
