The Marine Corps Reserve has been running "Toys For Tots" for years. Someone should -- there are too many kids who will get little or nothing at Christmas or any other time of the year.

Celebrate Christmas if you want to and however you want to. Do the same for Channukah. Do the same for Kwanza. Do the same for the Solstice, for Jul, for the feast of Janus, for the rebirth of Mithra.

Or not, as you see fit.

It's a phony issue -- if you feel strongly about it, fight it out in March.
