Good morning and - at the risk of shutting down school systems and sending city workers fleeing in panic onto the icy streets - Merry Christmas!
This is the year that Santa Claus was officially declared a subversive agent by McCall Middle School in Winchester. This was the year that Andover forced the Salvation Army to deploy bell-less bell ringers outside old Town Hall.
The year a goose-stepping government goon in Salem declared holiday bake sales at schools and churches verboten. Like the Burgermeister Meisterburger before her, she has ruled that Granny’s non-government-authorized Christmas cookies are simply too dangerous to distribute to the general public.
And on and on. From the “holiday” lights in Great Barrington unplugged in the name of global warming to the North Shore schools whose “winter music” programs censored all mention of the birth of You-Know-Who, this year has been a non-stop assault on the idea of Christmas.
And yet, to quote the Grinch, it came. This glorious New England morning, it came just the same.
Oh, yes, it featured plenty of packages, boxes and bags. That Christmas - the Christmas of toy-store gluttony and credit-card excess - is undefeatable. All the thin-skinned liberals and multicultural morons in the world will never turn back the tide of wild-eyed children flinging themselves into the plunder beneath the tree.
It’s the other Christmas, the real Christmas, I wondered about. When good-hearted people, flush with the spirit of the season, hesitate to even say “Merry Christmas” to a stranger, they feel something has gone wrong. And they’re right.
The Christmas of the open heart, the undeserved gift, the unbidden hope for peace - that is the Christmas under assault. Every time someone wishes “Significant Winter Solstice,” they are sending the message that there is something truly suspect about Christmas.

Truly the enemy within.
how much more so over snivelling, spineless atheistic shills?
Yes, anal-retentive school administrators and hyper-sensitive town hall types may have pulled down a few Christmas trees and silenced some bells, but they couldn’t stop our real Christmas from coming. Because you saved it by refusing to back down.
This morning, just like in Whoville, Christmas Day is in our grasp, so long as we have hands to clasp. And the backbone, too.
So have a very Merry Christmas. You earned it.
Perhaps you could post this in break room at The Boston Herald.
The truth is that as long as people continue to say Merry Christmas, the God-hating, Christ-hating secular jihadists are losing. And this year I would have to say a lot more people are saying Merry Christmas.
In more positive news, the concert at our local high school included Christmas carols, and our city sponsored a Christmas parade, a Christmas tree lighting and a Dickens of a Christmas celebration with a living Nativity.
Peace on Earth and mercy mild,
God and sinner reconciled.
Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies.
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
Just more sinners for the rest of us to spread the Good News to.
Yes indeed. Even Target stores had a great big sign hanging from the ceiling by the cash registers that said “Merry Christmas”.
Merry Christmas everyone (:
Merry Christmas, firewalk.
