Well, now that Xmas is over the fundies will soon start bitching about the celebration of spring rather than easter. "Back before that damn ACLU got involved schools had proper Easter breaks! None of this Spring break crap." Come March remember you heard it here first.
And for what it's worth the Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays question didn't really come up during my December shopping as no one said either one to me. Merchants I dealt with were uniformly un-festive and in many cases borderline cranky. Most seemed at pains to mumble a thank you as they handed over my purchases.
I didn't see this lovely little Christopher Hitchens polemic until after Christmas. It's still well worth a read. I'd pay to see Hitchens and O'Reilly in a steel cage no-holds-barred death match.

I saw that, too. I have a few issues with Hitchens, as do most people on either side of the aisle, but there are very few that are better at the verbal take-down than he is. I'm guessing he was the kind of guy Lyndon Johnson was was thinking of when he talked about having people in your tent pissing out rather than outside your tent pissing in.
