I think I should send this thread to John Gibson. He can excerpt it in his next book.BTW, our approach to how we deal with the Santa Claus story in our family culture has nothing to do with "the war on Christmas." We're all in favor of Christmas, and entirely not in favor of "Happy Holidays."
Well, I am leaving this thread, because I detect a whole lot of people who are not on the same wave-length with me concerning Christmas (and that would include you) and I think, in the spirit of the season, I am going to refrain from further comment.
Merry Christmas!
