The Reason For The Season

"In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season: the Christians called it Christmas and went to church; the Jews called it Chanukah and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Chanukah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!"' ---Dave Barry
