Goatfell, are you somehow under the impression that Mormons aren't Christians or don't celebrate Christmas? Sorry, but that is very wrong.

You seem to imply that it would be "unchristian" to object to that "poem", but it is full of inaccuracies bvesides those already mentioned. I can't imagine Al Frankin or any of the Fondas writing a book about Kwanza or Ramadan (which isn't this time of year, anyway). I'm not a shopper, but there is Christmas stuff all over my local Lowes and Target. Maybe ending the invocation when sessions of the Senate are opened with "in Jesus' name, amen" constitutes "eliminat{ing} Jesus, in all public matter", but I don't think so. I guess I've missed any proposal to rename that dried-out remnant of pagan worship a "dream tree", although I've certainly heard "Hanukkah bush".
