It seems to me that some of the anger expressed by Christians last year, concerning the attempted obliteration of public expressions of “Christmas” cheer, has dampened the secularists enthusiasm for the annual quashing of Christmas this time around.
It is heartening that Denny Hastert managed to get the Capital Christmas tree to be called that and it seems the Boston Christmas tree is still marking Christmas as well These are very good things, and these occurances make me think that I was wrong (a little) when I thought the Christians last year were too full of beans and vinegar. Clearly, they have had an effect. Now, read the thing before you denounce me – I didn’t say the Christians were “wrong” last year…only that they were loud, and I questioned the boycotts. But apparently “loud boycotts” work!
Or maybe, you know, it’s still early in the season.
Meanwhile, Buster is at it again, in his own inimitable way.
