I KEEP SEEING FOX NEWS doing its “War on Christmas” things. Why don’t they just give John Gibson the month off and replace him with Foamy the Squirrel?

UPDATE: Uh, oh: “Vandals burn Swedish Christmas goat, again.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Related post here.

MORE: Reader Aram Hagopian thinks I’m mocking Christianity. But while there’s mocking going on here, that’s not it. I find the whole thing kind of bemusing: Merchants who desperately want people to spend money because it’s Christmas are afraid to say the word, while those who are complaining are basically demanding that we commercialize Christmas more openly. Sigh.

Ann Althouse, meanwhile, thinks that Christmas doesn’t belong in commercials for judicial nominees.
