Merry Christmas, Tiny Tim
Anyone who is offended by the word "Christmas" is worse than a Scrooge. But I do not believe than anyone truly is offended: It's a pose. You'd need to be deeply paranoid to take offense at the mention of anyone's religious beliefs or Holy Days.
Nay, not paranoid - paranoid and hostile.
We, and the entire anglophone world, live in Christian-based cultures, and we are extremely fortunate to do so - or could I say blessed to do so. Whether we are true believers or secular Christians, or even non-Christians, the celebration means a lot to the human spirit in this culture. It deserves respect and, in my opinion, gratitude.

It won't hurt you: it's a message about love - a stern yet joyful message about love and grace and mercy.
That is why stuff like this ticks me off. It's worse than Russia during the Soviet era, or France.
And it looks like we will have a White Advent in New England, tonight. Wonderful. Snow and Christmastime go together up here. If you cannot relate to Christmas, or feel hostile towards it, or just don't get it, watch this and this. You'll understand how the miracle of birth and the parallel miracle of rebirth affect people.
