______mas
Laura and George sent out a million cards that wished a Happy Holiday instead of a Merry Christmas. When the religious right got up in arms and said this was a religious wrong, their press agent countered with it’s because they have so many friends of numerous persuasions.
Nobody seemed just pleased to note that these days, the Bushes have that many friends at all.
After trying for years of late, however, maybe we’re really getting Christ out of Christmas. People finally got aware who they were celebrating and naming their trees after and said Enough, already. Next thing you know, they’ll discover holiday really means holy day, and we’ll be into trying to amend the Constitution again.
Any way you look at it, it’s still a season of Peace and Goodwill to All. Why else would we have sent the Secretary of State herself off this time of the year to assure everybody that the only thing tortured over here is grammar?
