The faces of our comrades in the trenches look drawn and bleak. There is general grumbling and finger-pointing, while the most optimistic among us can only manage to keep silent.
I'm sorry to say it yet again, but this year's War On Christmas has been a failure. All of our efforts to remove public Nativity scenes, have retailers tell people 'Happy Holidays', and rechristen (if you'll pardon the expression) large, decorated pines as 'Holiday Trees' have been for nought, or almost nought. For some reason, most Americans managed to remember that December 25 was the usual day for celebrating the birth of someone considered by Christians to be the Messiah.
I suppose we more than met our match in the greatest defenders of the Christian religion since Thomas More: John Gibson and Bill O'Reilly. Their tireless resolve in the face of our withering assault on Christmas's tackiest, most essential elements was truly Christ-like in its ability to absorb suffering without complaint.
Well, there's always next year...
