I must say I am encouraged by the backlash I sense this year against the nutty, runaway trend in our society whereby the term “Christmas” continues to be replaced with the word “Holiday.” From the protests against Wal-Mart, to Speaker Denny Hastert’s laudable recent order that the Capitol Christmas Tree — re-named the Capitol Holiday Tree a few years back — be restored to its proper name, to FNC’s near-obsession with the issue, it’s just nice to see that not everyone is willing to tolerate this nonsense anymore.

Sure we’ve got a long way to go on this one, but at least the creatures are stirring, so to speak…
