Brit Jailed over Teddy Bear

How the Christmas Wars Stole Christmas...

I never thought about what faiths my friends were until I got ready to start mailing cards for the holidays. Once upon a time I bought "Happy Holidays" cards because I wanted to cover the entire holiday season, and not just Christmas. This year I bought Christmas cards and "Happy Holidays" cards because I was so thrown off by the Christmas wars of the past two years that I don't want to risk offending anyone.

The irony of it is that my friends probably are just glad to get a card and could care less what it says.

Who are making these toys, pederasts and child killers?
