Just commenting on the apologetic/defensive tone the left ritually adopts when wishing to say Merry Xmas.

So where does the left "underwear knot" come from in this conversation? I sent two holiday cards. I would say the first fits under peace and if not love then reconciliation: http://www.nohairshirts.com/rebXmas/holidaycards5.html
The second was a humorous response to a request for a more "paganny" take http://nohairshirts.com/CthulhuMas/Cthulhumas.htm
They were both a pleasure for me to make. I hope some of you found them a pleasure to read.
Nor did I see anyone else in the conversation putting down Xmas. Maybe someone misinterpreted Doug's comment as an attack? -- Facebook: Gar Lipow Twitter: GarLipow Grist Blog: http://www.grist.org/member/1598 Static page: http://www.nohairshirts.com
