Oh, come on....We all know that Al Gore's great, great, great, great grandfather invented Christmas.

But something got misinterpreted along the way...

The original Gore story, concocted by right wing conspirators read: Nicholas Gore slayed his way to the top"...

Britain invented modern Christmas, New York invented Santa Claus. There is a difference. The article confuses the issue.
