I'm sure the New York Times would have responded the same way if they got such a letter today.

Just think if this was a liberal responding;

"No Virginia there is no such thing as Santa Claus. Santa Claus is a myth propagated by the Christian cabal and the imperialists to fatten their capitalist wallets every year and we must not let them win! We must fight the imperialists and do away with this Christmas! We must ban their symbols, their words and bring forth all that the prophet Mohammed has commanded of us! Allah Akbar! God is great! Once we do away with Christmas and Santa Claus, we will bring a new symbol for this time of year, "Father Fatwah". Every December 25th Father Fatwah will slide down your chimney and blow himself up! Allah Akbar"

A great sense of gratitude to Francis Church for his timeless ode tothe joy and love of Christmas. And a great sense of gratitude and welcome for the return of the New York Sun. As the Swiftboat vets well know, it's as Philip O'Hanlon said,"if you see it in the Sun, it's so."

God's Blessings to All on Free Republic and a Joyous, Blessed, and Merry Christmas!!
