My whole adult life, I have had my own Christmas tree on only two occasions. The reason is simple: I always spent Christmas at home or with the family of a friend. But even so, I love Christmas trees. Read more …
It was about twenty years ago when I first noticed that the greeting “Merry Christmas” was being replaced by the bland, neutral “Season’s Greetings” and “Happy Holidays.”

Even though I am an unbeliever, the Christmas season is my favorite time of the year. Christmas, like dogs, brings out the best in people. It awakens a desire to beautify one’s world and adorn one’s soul with good deeds.
Two years ago I wrote about jewish influence on Christmas music. Sometime later I ran across a passage from Philip Roth’s Operation Shylock praising Irving Berlin for de-Christing Christmas (and Easter). What I didn’t realize until today was that Roth’s book frames jewish hostility toward Christmas in a much broader context of jewish hostility toward Christianity, Christians, and Whites in general.

In keeping with my policy of regifting, I am reprinting this oldie, because the points it makes are still valid. Merry Christmas!
It was about twenty years ago when I first noticed that the greeting “Merry Christmas” was being replaced by the bland, neutral “Season’s Greetings” and “Happy Holidays.”
Christmas—or Yule, to use the name originally given to this sacred time by our pre-Christian ancestors—is one of those times when I am particularly reminded of how much who we were still strongly influences who we are. Read more …
Früher in dieser Woche schrieb ich in Teil Eins dieser Kolumne über den Krieg gegen Weihnachten, daß „die jüdische Dominanz über Hollywood so offensichtlich und unbestreitbar ist, daß der Kolumnist Joel Stein von der Los Angeles Times es kürzlich offiziell machte.
