Les, owner of the very interesting "Stupid Evil Bastard" blog, has an excellent roundup of pro and con stories about the fate of Christmas in the US.

Links include Reason Magazine, the Moonie-run Washington Times, and even a Committee To Save "Merry Christmas"!

It's a jungle out there, folks. Personally, I'd love a nice fast forward to blaze through December, and make up for it in September. With the exception of 'that' day, September is a pretty civilized month, all told. There might be a tree or two in the stores, but the 'noise and fury' of the 'hollow-day' season is still far away.
