Being Christmas is my fave holiday having a bit of a Normal Rockwell/Courrier and Ives thing going on I find the supposed war on Christmas upsetting. I don't think anyone has it in for Santa Claus, his reindeer, decorating pine trees, and presents. Think instead people have it in for Christianity and think Christmas has something to do with it. It doesn't. I might have originally, but we got rid of that tie-in a long time ago. Plus, Jesus' birthday wasn't in December anyway. The date was chosen arbitrarily and to bring then-pagans into Christianity when their celebration of guess the winter solstice was around late December. Can keep your trees, merrymaking, and gift-giving, but now it's about Jesus they said. Of course centuries later the new religion of capitalism took all the pagans who became Christians who became capitalists and made it about the gifts but let the pagans who became Christians who became capitalists keep the religious nod.
