Was never a big fan of Carlson on F&F. I loved E.D. Hill and wished she stayed in that spot. She’s definitely a great person, though. Good to see someone taking a stand amidst the crushing anti-Christian movement in America.

The comments at the link show how deep the vile hatred is toward God and His Judaeo-Christian followers.

I’m a fan of Gretchen. She doesn’t appear to be fake like others. She is also quite an attractive lady. I rarely watch her show (or TV at all for that matter) but do enjoy seeing it once in a great while.

I didn't know it was criminal to be a Christian

It is now. The Supreme Court has ruled so.

In the movie I play Diana Lucas, a journalist who asks tough questions.

So it was an acting stretch for her.

One website published this pearl: "If Bill O'Reilly is the commander-in-chief of the War on Christmas, Gretchen Carlson is the head of the women's auxiliary." The thing is, it's not a joke to me. I can't think of a single other religion whose holy day is treated like a joke.

It all came to a head over the Festivus controversy. Festivus is a fake holiday, invented by the hit show "Seinfeld" in 1997. It was a funny bit on the comedy, and I laughed along with the rest of the world. But then it got real. Some people subsequently began to celebrate the holiday as an alternative to the Christian celebration, and one of them wrote a book called "Festivus: The Holiday for the Rest of Us."

I have a relative - an atheist - who hosts an annual "Festivus" party to celebrate with his atheist friends. I don't know about the guests, but my relative does this to thumb his nose at the Christmas holiday and at the Christians in our family. Before 1997, he didn't do anything except thumb his nose. Seinfeld just gave him a socially-acceptable mock tradition to fill the time while doing so.

Festivus wasn't invent by Seinfeld. It already existed. Seinfeld just made it famous.

From Wikipedia:

Festivus was conceived by editor and author Daniel O'Keefe and was celebrated by his family as early as 1966. In the original O'Keefe tradition, the holiday would take place in response to family tension, "any time from December to May". The phrase "A Festivus for the rest of us" also derived from an O'Keefe family event, the death of Daniel O'Keefe's mother.

In 1982, Daniel O'Keefe wrote a book, Stolen Lightning: The Social Theory of Magic, that deals with idiosyncratic ritual and its social significance, a theme relevant to Festivus tradition.

The word Festivus in this sense was coined by O'Keefe, and according to him the name "just popped into my head". The English word festive derives from Latin "festivus", which in turn derives from festus "joyous; holiday, feast day".

Although the first Festivus took place in February 1966, as a celebration of Daniel O'Keefe's first date with his future wife, Deborah, it is now celebrated on December 23, as depicted in a Seinfeld episode written by O'Keefe's son.
