Enjoy and serve YOUR version of any religion, or none at all. All this moralizing and pontificating mixed with politics is JUST WRONG, disgusting. AND, THIS GOES OUT TO ALL THOSE WHO SCREAM ABOUT 'DON'T SAY HAPPY HOLIDAYS'= IT'S CHRISTMAS'. Who appointed you to be judge & jury of what's right? How dare you in your arrogency!? If you don't like an excess of gifts @ Christmas, don't buy them/give them or move your gifts to Three Kings Day/Jan. 6th-when the three kings, with their gifts, were supposed to have arrived @ the the manger, after their long journey, as they do in Med. countries. Or, better yet, contact an agency that helps those who are truely down on their luck and give some-one else all that EXCESS. NOW THAT'S A REAL GIFT= no thanks, no celebrity..just pure GOOD! N.B.I'm of German(open gifts Xmas Eve.), Irish,& English background/ Catholic/Episcopal/Unitarian=Congregational=background; married to a 'Born-Again-Christian' of Russian/Middle-European Jewish descent. AND, my Dad's father(Penn. Dutch=who's family left The Black Forest/ fleeing from religious persecution) used to dress up as Santa, Xmas Eve, and deliver donated gifts & candies-with a volunteer band) to home-bound church members and kids & people hospitalised thru this precious season.

AND, THIS GOES OUT TO ALL THOSE WHO SCREAM ABOUT ‘DON’T SAY HAPPY HOLIDAYS’= IT’S CHRISTMAS’. Who appointed you to be judge & jury of what’s right? How dare you in your arrogency!?
