Strange Weather Across The United States
I am absolutely fine with no snow, cold, or ice for Christmas.
Perhaps for the only time in my entire blogging life, let us briefly consider the Christmas Controversy.
To me, the most annoying feature of the liberal war on Christmas is the occasional blockhead lecture that Christmas is really a pagan celebration of the solstice.
Over several centuries, the Christians of the Roman Empire took the world away from the pagans and turned the tables on those who had formerly excluded and persecuted them.
The total replacement of pagan celebrations of the solstice by the celebration of the birth of Christ, a spectacular act of cultural appropriation that was centuries in the making, was and is integral to that success.
The part of the liberal war on Christmas that's just lesbian-feminist rejection of male sexuality and female nature is less so, I think.
That's all.
Update, 12262015, 0754 hrs EST.
So far as I know, nobody in my family went to church on Christmas Eve or Christmas day.
Haven't in years.
We don't go to church at all, come to that.
Not even those of us who are currently raising their kids to believe and pray and say grace at meals.
The same kids in whom they have inculcated belief in Santa.
And even the Elf on the Shelf.
