Jesus H. Christ-mas
"All over the country, Christmas is taking flak," [Bill] O'Reilly recently announced, as he complained about "the anti-Christmas jihad" that's gripping the nation. "If they could, secularists would cancel Christmas as a holiday. That's how much they fear the exposition of the philosophy of Jesus."
I don't actually know what a "secularist" is, but maybe that is because there aren't any in South Carolina. Every store I go into is chock full of Christmas decorations, as are the homes and yards of many of my friends and neighbors. There are fair numbers of Jews and Pagans and Muslims and Buddhists and Hindus and Athiests and other "not-Christians" here, but they don't seem at all fearful of "the philosophy of Jesus," though I bet many find Bill O'Reilly a tad alarming, I know I do.
The South Carolina State House has a giant illuminated Christmas tree in the front yard, right next to the Confederate Flag.
