Count me in. This Christian is happy to join that war on Christmas.

And I'll follow that up with a donation to the local food bank and Toys for Tots. I'll sing hymns with the choir and do my best to be a better person than my rather grumpy and irritable nature usually makes me.
And I'll keep doing it until the bloated, all-consuming monster that Christmas has become is defeated.
Take that, Christmas!
