Yeah, all that acknowledgement of the miraculous birth of Christ the King puts a buzz kill on the festive “holiday season” for soulless humanists.

Yeah, right.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Stressful? No, that isn't stressful. Stressful is battling some other poor soul for a twenty-dollar toy that will be forgotten and discarded by spring. Stressful is caring whether your football team wins between the turkey and the pumpkin pie. Stressful is sniping at your relatives for petty and imagined offenses. When God lays before you the gift of eternal life and all you have to do is open yourself to it and accept it in the humility of someone who cannot possibly deserve it, that isn't stress, it's the exact opposite.

Wow. That is what makes the holidays stressful? Not the rampant materialism thing?

Who knew?

Does she also think that Independence Day is too nationalistic and makes the day too stressful for immigrants?

I wonder how she’d explain Thanksgiving. Whom are we thanking and for what? Or Easter (a bunny rabbit holiday?).

No Nancy, it's people like you that are mucking the whole thing up.

Not really it’s NBC.

If anyone remembers this but I remember watching this when I was in middle school. A show called -> A Mac Davis Special: Christmas Odyssey - 2010. The name of “Christmas Day” was replaced with “Commerce Day” and what I remember, anyone who referred it to as Christmas day got in trouble.

How things are so messed up these days ! Political correctness has more than run amok and tired of more than 20 years of it too.

Star Jones really put her in her place and more, good for her!

I guess all the weeping wailers on this thread missed that part.

The “religion stuff” really mucks things up???? Really? Does he not realize that the “religion stuff” is why we have a Christmas holiday to begin with? People really are so mis-educated. And, I suppose he thinks he is very intelligent.

< I>Nancy Snyderman - never did like her

I didn't read the article, but I thought it had to be her. I remember a couple of years ago she was on the Today Show (she's a frequent 'expert' guest) and she looked right into the camera and made the baldfaced lie that some vaccine that was getting pushed at the time (HPV?) was 100% safe and it should be taken without reservations. She had no way of knowing that to be so. The testing was sparse, and there is always an element of danger with vaccines. She could have said that the benefits outweighed the risks, and that would have been ok, but she didn't go that route. Just lie to the camera.
I don't like her either, I'm not surprised that she has no reverence for God.
