Today, my wife, Debra Jean, with her big blue eyes full of sparkle...even the one that is wonky following last year's brain surgery....asked me if I could walk a couple of Christmas cards up to the mail box before the mail ran. Sure, I could do that for her.

One Christmas card was addressed to her nephew...the other to the ACLU. Yes, the American Civil Liberties Union. I asked her why she was sending a Christmas card to the ACLU. She said that since the ACLU has been working so hard to remove Christmas from government and stores, she thought that she would send them a card to let them know that there are still Americans who refuse to celebrate the "holidays", who refuse to have a "holiday" tree, who refuse to say "Happy Holidays" to people...that there are still Americans who celebrate Christmas, who have Christmas trees, who say "Merry Christmas" to people in stores and on the street. In fact, my wife is pretty sure that the number of people who still celebrate Christmas, who have Christmas trees, who bake Christmas cookies, who mail Christmas cards...far out weights the number of people who have Holiday trees, who mail out Holiday cards, who bake Holiday cookies.

My wife...what a gal!

And may I just say - your wife is right as far as I'm concerned., and from all that I've read of her during my time here at the Outhouse, sounds like an incredible woman (with an incredible and supportive husband to boot).

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Obio.

Are there not more pressing issues for the ACLU to embroil themselves with? I think they diminish their relevance by this type of objection.

I send Christmas cards (I make sure they specifically say "Christmas") to the ACLU every year. As I understand it, all mail is opened because they must check each piece for donations.

I agree completely. I hate the "marry holidays" crap! :)

Even in Singapore, where the religion is very diverse, they say Christmas. Because IT IS Christmas, not some random holiday...
