    I gotta say, the folks putting up the “Put The Christ Back In Christmas” signs during the holiday season are some of the least festive and most Grinchy on the block.

      My understanding is that phrase is used to push against people using “x-mas.” If that’s the case for those neighbors, sit them down for a PowerPoint on the Greek letter chi and it’s use.

      They’re also wrong. Christmas is just Saturnalia rebranded/appropriated. Christ wasn’t even born in the winter according to scripture.

      Santa is the reason for the season. And consumerism! And lights!
