Happy Holidays from Nomadic Thoughts!
"So, my dear holiday heathens, regardless of our successes or failures in our War on Christmas, rest assured. Tomorrow, 85% of Americans will celebrate Christmas, but there will be very little Christ to be found anywhere. No matter how they may respond to polls or how much Fox News they may watch, most Americans don’t give a crap about Christ when push comes to shove. They just want to hold on to tradition, and they want to be right. They’ll talk at length about their faith, but then they’ll center their Christmas celebrations around stuff and a vaguely Scandinavian demigod in a red suit and hat. The star of the show is no longer Jesus. It’s the gold, frankincense and myrrh."
