The real ‘reason for the season’ was a pronouncement by Pope Julius I in the 4th century, because the scene set in the references to the Nativity in the Gospels are all for the spring in Palestine, not the winter.

Of course, people who insist on ‘Merry Christmas’ are going to be offended by everything except ‘Merry Christmas’ because they are bigots and don’t believed that other traditions should be acknowledged – just like the Taliban and ISIS.

I enjoy the lights, preferably multicolored, but most the figures are really tacky.

I was out stocking up on cat food a little while ago, and saw a sign “happy whatever doesn’t offend you.”

my neighbors are always very restrained with the Christmas decorations, so it’s been a nice quiet holiday.
