the Winter Solstice. Christians stole that for the celebration of the
birth of someone who was born in the spring.

Not all that intelligent.

Sorry, Christmas is ours now. It celebrates the availability of
enormous quantities of food, alcohol, and electronic gadgets.

That is what some people celebrate. I enjoy Christmas quite a bit,
yet I am not Christian nor do I believe in Santa or elves or the pagan
beliefs behind the much older reason for having a celebration at that
time of the year.



It is entirely consistant to show the face of the man on postage stamps and
to display his image in a public forum.

Along with Santa Claus and any other image that might be identified
with the day.

I want to see Scrooge, with the caption 'Pah! Humbug! in big red letters.

Every time I go Christmas shopping in crowded malls where parking is
impossible, I think Scrooge was right.

LOL!! I know EXACTLY what you mean. However, I do have a young daughter
(who stopped believing in Santa 3 years ago, thank goodness) and like to
make it a nice time for her. That's why I shop on line. woohoo!

Avoid it altogether.

Or, if you must, do it around the 3rd week of January. Better
parking, fewer crowds and the prices are lower.

Maybe they just take a stronger stand on that "no graven images" bit
than you do.

Yeah, they should have christmas at a later time of the year, when the shops
aren't so busy.

Yogi Berra should have said that.
