Christmas War Tally

Tuesday December 27, 2005

From the looks of things, the media's not accepting the Christian's insistence that the "Holidays" are their exclusive domain. In other words, Bill O'Reilly and his fellow whiners got spanked. Some of the better articles:

The Christmas celebrated today has deep roots in other cultures

Twelve Days Of Christmas- Pagan Sex Song

Christmas Feasting Fuels More Battles Between Pagans, Puritans

With centuries of history, tree is free for all to claim

Ancients believed mistletoe ‘blessed by the goddess of love’

Of mistletoe, figgy pudding and Hagios Nikolaos

conscientious objector

Save Christmas, Separate Christ From Commerce

Celebrating the return of light

History of Christmas carols contains some surprises

Holidays draw from many cultures

Also, a final, sad attempt at reigniting the 'Narnia War' by referring to secularists as Puritans (someone is in desperate need of a dictionary, it appears, or so deep into their attempt to co-opt PC arguments that the irony is lost on them)
