Oh the weather outside is frightful...
Having grown up Jewish in a very multi-cultural community, I know more songs about Dwali than I do about Christmas. However, that doesn't keep the "all Christmas Carols, all the time" radio stations (yes, plural) in the DC metro area from making me crazy. Somewhere, I had heard that a Senator had called the constant Christmas music in shopping malls and stores "psychological terrorism." I can't agree more. And it isn't better when the music is by a cool band, like the Ramones. When that happens, it is the definition of "selling out."

I cannot wait until the holiday season is over. Long live secularism.
