A Note On Christmas From A Grinch

I am sorry to have to introduce the subject of Christmas . . . . It is an indecent subject; a cruel, gluttonous subject; a drunken, disorderly subject; a wasteful, disastrous subject; a wicked, cadging, lying, filthy, blasphemous and demoralizing subject. Christmas is forced on a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press: on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred; and anyone who looked back to it would be turned into a pillar of greasy sausages."

- George Bernard Shaw

Happy/Merry/Joyous Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanzaa/Festivus to everyone!
