And why is it that he refuses to aplly to XIans what he is, in this instance, applying to Jews (& only pretending to apply to others)? Why is it that he automatically puts Xians in the place of doling out the kindness and "others" in the poition of EARNING it - and NOT the other way around. Susan

Which means only that they have taken the secular aspects they like and abandoned the rest - which is the real affront to Xmas. > Christmas is > universal, except among those nursing grievances against > Christianity and Christians.
