Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my blog readers who do the Christmas thing... although here in the USA, like in most of the Western world, we've managed to make Christmas a sufficiently multilayered holiday that it's possible to participate with any amount of religious content or none at all. 

If you want to do the full midnight Mass experience, we got you covered. If you just want a wintertime holiday about seeing family and exchanging gifts with friends and pretty lights on neighborhood houses, well, we got that too.

(And miss me with your annual "War on Christmas" gripes about how the Woke made it illegal or frowned on to say anything but "Happy Holidays". I realize that's a standard play in the wintertime culture war playbook, the "off tackle left on three" of the Right, and it gets the rubes reliably riled every December, but it is sooooo tired.)
