Not sure how you were being a merry gentleman. Please enlighten me. Do you mean because you didn't turn a blowtorch on your neighbor's plastic Rudolph that makes you a big-hearted person?
(Just between me and you I think you are a nice guy. I'm just not sure how you were a merry gentleman.

Yes, because Christ is the content now. The wrapper is just some leftover stuff from long ago which is attractive in a non-evil way because it goes with the winter season. Or are you really going to argue that decorated trees, holly, mistletoe, reindeer or even a wee bit o' the ol' Christmas cheer are evil in themselves? Seems like the same argument that would say pork is evil.

And what's *really* going on? Sounds intriguing! Is it a conspiracy? Is the government involved? UFOs? Some secret society? (I mean other than the LCM...)
