The whole God-In-Christmas debate was conspicuously absent in 2009. I saw “Merry Christmas” prominently displayed on sales material from stores that, in the past, notoriously avoided the phrase. Every place I spent my money (and I spent a lot of money) my “Merry Christmas” greeting was responded to in turn. Maybe we reached a tipping point with all the hubbub in 2008. Maybe the “politically correct” minority in this country have finally returned to the back of the bus. I’d sure like to think so. Now, if we can just get our government to reach the same epiphany.

Merry Christmas to you, and a happy and prosperous 2010. (That’s “Twenty-Ten!”)
