If the left cant successfully eliminate Christ from Christmas, then perhaps plan B is to eliminate Christmas altogether. This could be the beginning of a backlash now that Christians are waking up this year and saying enough is enough. Something to think about.

"I always wanted to have this perfect Christmas...."I'm thinking this is a big part of the problem.

This isn't the worst of it in San Francisco. One bar, called the "Elbo Room," had a Church of Satan "party" on Christmas Day. This is an ordinary, mainstream nightclub in S.F. The party featured some woman named LaVey. (Sp?) Apparently her father was a famous (infamous) devil-worshiper. This stuff doesn't even raise an eyebrow in ol' Frisco.

How long has this woman been a desperate attention-seeking nutcase?

The backlash includes more than just Christians ... Just about everyone with common sense believes this anti-Christmas garbage is just that -- garbage.

Yup, huge part. These folks, the ones like this woman, really have a great deal of "self Importance", don't they?
That and a whole lot of gall! Self Importance=selfishness personified!

Anton Szandor LaVey established the Church of Satan in 1966 in San Francisco. He died in 1997.

A more appropriate city could not be found.

Please take this as intended, since it's coming from a Jew...
If people would simply take a look at what Christmas is supposed to be all about, then this shouldn't be an issue.
Christmas isn't about giving presents. If it is about giving, it's giving to make things better for other people. Unless I'm mistaken, the idea of giving at Christmas comes from the belief that G-d gave his Son for humanity. For example, my family has a long tradition of volunteering at hospitals and at the Salvation Army, in hopes of giving a Christian a bit of time off to celebrate Christmas with his or her family. I think that even though I'm not a Christian, the "Christmas Spirit" is a wonderful and special thing, and if more people were to act on it, the world would be that much better a place.
I think that this lady really needs to see "A Charlie Brown Christmas," to see what Christmas is really supposed to be all about. Secular society has made Christmas the commercial event that it's become, and that seems to be what's gotten her pantied in a wad. If she would simply either celebrate Christmas the way it was supposed to be celebrated, as the birth of the Christ Child, or ignore it, she, and everyone around her would be a whole lot happier.

"her perfect solution ~ throw the baby out with the bath water"LOL, exactly. If she can't have it her way, no one should have it at all.

Gee, do it wrong, then blame the holiday. Sounds like a perfect San Francisco type.

Being a comic book artist and in that loop for nearly twenty years, I am not unfamiliar with Nina Paley. She is also involved with the Voluntary Human Extinction movement, which explains a LOT. She's always been a drama (or trauma) queen.

She has been living in Brooklyn for the past 12 years. Hardly a hot-bed of liberalism.

"I always wanted to have this perfect Christmas, and every year it would fail." Well, don't blame yourself!
At least she'll never have encephalitis.

While some people may think she's a Grinch, 36-year-old cartoonist and animator Nina Paley, mother of the Christmas Resistance Movement, says she actually used to be a devotee of the holiday. That is, until it let her down repeatedly. Nina also has problems with husbands, never able to find the perfect one.

Actually the tradition of gift giving comes from the life of St. Nicholas who was famous for giving gifts and is honored by the Orthodox Church on the 6th of December.

My thoughts exactly. Somebody didn't give her the perfect gift and now she wants all of us to feel her pain.

Well, there were those Wise Men before St. Nick, but I guess the Orthodox remember them in January, not Christmas. Still, gift-giving could theoretically come from the wise guys.
