Christmas is the antithesis of Thanksgiving. Christmas is pretty much a man-made holiday.

Black Friday is not another bad hair day in Wall Street. It's the term used by American retailers to describe the day after the Thanksgiving Holiday seen as the semi-official start of Christmas shopping season.

It's surprising to me how many of my friends send Christmas cards or holiday cards including my atheist and secular friends.

Christmas is a holiday that persecutes the lonely the frayed and the rejected.

Nothing says holidays like a cheese log.

I once wanted to become an atheist but I gave up - they have no holidays.

Where does it stop? You get offered money for your wedding then for your kids new houses holidays... We earn enough from football and sponsorships why do you need any more?

The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas and like those holidays beyond their meaning a factor in our economy.

Once again we come to the Holiday Season a deeply religious time that each of us observes in his own way by going to the mall of his choice.

I don't need a holiday or a feast to feel grateful for my children the sun the moon the roof over my head music and laughter but I like to take this time to take the path of thanks less traveled.
