So to my friends and my colleagues I say with delight,
A merry Christmas to all,
and to Bill O’Reilly…Happy Holidays.

I love it!!
The local online rag, that I read,
The Omaha World Herald Online, ran a similar poll. The results were the exact opposite of what I'm seeing here. Those that believed that there is truly a "War on Christmas" ran away with it, by about 1700 to 400 that did
not believe there was an attack on Christmas. I wish I could access it, but alas...I cannot. I confess to being a little taken aback, realizing of course, just how conservative this area really is, at just how seriously some people are taking this.
To those who
do take this so-called War on Christmas seriously, know this. I, a self avowed atheist, in no way, shape or form, want to take the spirituality away from
your holiday. All I ask is that you allow me, and the rest of my ilk, to enjoy the secular aspects of it, in relative peace, harmony and goodwill. Isn't that, after all, what it's supposed to be all about? That said, I'm gonna go listen to Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire, Winter Wonderland, White Christmas, and a few other secular Christmas songs. And I may even listen to a little Silent Night, or Away in A Manger...just 'cause I like 'em. I'm gonna sip me some mulled wine, stare at my Christmas tree, and basically celebrate the
holiday...my way.
Merry Christmas, all.
