don't you think
it shows a less-than-total dedication
to preserving
the primacy of Christmas
over other religions
and especially over godlessness
if you only advocate for it
once a year?
"And remember
it's 'Merry Christmas'
not 'Happy Holidays'"
needs to become
a perpetually-scrolling
yellow-on-red-and-green marquee
even during the commercials
and a sign-on and sign-off
for all your anchors.
Lest your viewers forget.
(And maybe every so often
mention the color
of Santa too.
Couldn't hurt.)
