Where’s the War on Christmas This Year? 0
I gather that O’Reilly (not Tim; the dumb one, Bill) has been trying, but no one’s noticed this year.
Anyhoo, here’s a fascinating history of what we think of as our Christmas traditions.
As a trained historian–and as someone who has ploughed through the Bible about five times–I can say that both the Biblical and historical information appears to be pretty much accurate, though I’m not qualified to comment on the finer points of, say, the history of St. Boniface, and I’m too lazy to do any research today.
Warning: In addition to the history, there’s also polemic. It’s really good polemic and I agree with much of it. That should give you a hint as to who might find it distasteful.
