My dad makes me so proud here is his letter to the editor
Here is his letter to the editor:
Inside attack on Christmas

I would like to thank conservative Christians for doing their best to destroy the joy of the Christmas season. Those of us who felt that "Happy Holidays" was an innocent way of being inclusive to those who hold different beliefs were greeted with vitriolic attacks. Petulant self-pity and paranoia seem to have become the hallmarks of the "modern" Christian. To use the phrase of one writer, no pagan, atheist or unbeliever could have done more to undermine the meaning of Christmas.

6. Your dad's a hip writer....
"Petulant self-pity and paranoia"... That just rolls off the tongue. He makes a solid point in few words.

Here's to you and your dad :toast:
