Persecuted Christians?

My house is already decorated in just about every conceivable place. Included are two renditions of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. I just finished making our Christmas cards, which feature a 1950s Christmas picture of my family, looking just like the Cleavers. In short, I love Christmas. I'm not at all concerned that Christmas will soon be outlawed and am bewildered by the folk at Fox, who angrily protest the "secular assault" on it. Ruth Marcus, in the WP, wittily asks, What 'War on Christmas'? She talks of listening to John Gibson at the Heritage Foundation, and continues:

After the lecture, I wandered over to Union Station to check out a retail battlefield. Inside and out, the station was festooned with giant You Know What wreaths. A huge You Know What tree, with presents wrapped in red and green underneath, stood in the main hall, near a placard announcing "Norwegian Christmas at Union Station." A high-tech player piano was playing "Go Tell It on the Mountain," proclaiming the birth of You Know Who; the next selection was You Know Who Else Is Coming to Town. The most generic element was a small sign reading "Happy Holidays," but even then the words were bracketed by reindeer -- and let's just say, they weren't eating latkes. It was beginning to look a lot like You Know What.

If the anti-Christmas forces are winning, then the war in Iraq is nothing short of total victory.

Happy Holidays to all!
