To any kid (from 1 to 92), the phrase "Merry Christmas" has a whiff of thrill and magic to it that no other phrase in the English language can equal.
"Happy Holidays" is a lukewarm glass of water; "Happy Hannukah" or Kwanzaa don't do much for me either.
But Bill O'Reilly's war on Christmas? It's so laughable that my first reaction was: this can't be real, this is some sort of a parody?
If the Onion were to try to think up a parody of Bill whose purpose was to point out how ludicrous, petty, and obsessed he is, it's really hard to think of a better one than this.
