Corrupt liberal media fails to cover the news

It may not be a case of simple mindedness. Perhaps its just that the
Whos down in Whoville are fearful of the Grinch, and haven't yet
learned that "Christmas doesn't come in a box, wrapped up with a bow."
If the Whos aren't keeping Christmas in their hearts- it doesn't matter
if there's a venerated tree on every corner, colored lights on every
housetop,
religious carols about the "birth of the Savior" being sung in every
public classroom, a plastic Santa Claus lit up in every front yard, or
even a nativity scene at City Park- the Who's won't have a genuine
Christmas this year. If the Whos *are* keeping Christmas in their
hearts, the zombie-like repitition of "Merry Christmas" by
non-believers won't increase the "amount" of Christmas they experience
and a merchant wishing all of his customers a happy solstice holiday
(rather than a Merry Christmas) won't diminish it.
Heck, the Whos might even discover that if Christmas is de-politicized
and they drop the "in your face" insistence that everybody acknowledge
the Christian diety, (whether Christian or not), a few of the grinches
up in the hills might even have a change of heart. :-)
Last week the news reported that 95% of Americans celebrated Christmas. Maybe they were wrong, and
it's only 90%. In any case, I, for one, could care less about whether the grinches in the hills have
a change of heart.
If they do, great. If they don't, just as great. It's their choice to make.
