She did not go after the 65 pound choloate Santa that is being raffled off... even though Santa has about as much to do with celebrations of the birth of Christ as evergreen trees do.

Isn't the "yule tree" actually an artifact of pre-Christian pagan religion? It has zero zip nada nichevo to do with Christianity.

You know what really, really, really offends me? "Jingle Bells" sung jazz style. It makes me want to run screaming through the mall knocking people over. OTOH, I really like Christmas songs, even the religious hymns, sung by country stars like Toby Keith or Randy Travis, but these singers have an effect on other people that the "Jingle Bells" jazz scat crap has on me.
