This should shut the 'stealing Christmas' asshats up for good.
This is an amazing column in this week's Newsweek about Christmas and the fundie reaction to 'Happy Holidays'. Anna Quindlen nails it. I think she is wonderful.

2. Nice: If I ever have to go to Costco for religion...
I'll know my Christmas goose is cooked!

Well said. Good to see it is in Newsweek and on MSGOP. ;)

3. Nice article. Thanks.
I always listen to Rachael Ray, whether she is the son of God or not.

5. My print edition came yesterday and I love when Anna
Quindlen is in it. She always zeros in on the heart of the matter. She cuts right through all the bullshit. I wish she was published every week rather than every other.

4. You couldn't even shut those people up

by stuffing a Christmas stocking in their mouths.

6. Great post!
Favorite line: "It's an insult to the power and the glory of faith to seek it in fried foods, statuary or the perfunctory greetings of overworked store clerks." Very well put, Anna!
