But don’t make a big deal of it.
Some days I have The View on in the background as I blog - last Thursday’s episode was on, but I paid little attention. Obviously LifeSite News did pay attention and wrote a piece on Barbara Walters complaining about the White House Christmas card she received. (She should feel honored just to get a card. If I were the Bush’s, I wouldn’t send her a card next year. Oh that’s right - they won’t be in the White House next year.)
Barbara, obviously hoping to start a cat-fight over religion on The View, (which happens nearly every day anyway, especially with Joy anti-Catholic Behar), Barbara brought in a few high profile Christmas cards she had received. She complained that the Bush’s card included a verse from the Old Testament, suggesting it was inappropriate for our diverse national culture. Her co-hosts pretty much blew it off. (What’s her deal anyway? She ought to be smarter than that, don’t you think?)
“Holiday Inn” was a Christmas movie. Why wasn’t it called “Christmas Inn.” Huh?!
Personally, I don’t care if people say Happy Holidays (there is more than one this time of year), or Season’s Greetings, or Merry Christmas. I celebrate St. Nicholas, Christmas, and New Year - three different holidays. When I send a card, I say Merry Christmas - because I am celebrating Christmas. So what’s the big deal? (Yeah, I know, Barbara thinks the President of the US should be more generic - no one is listening to you Ms. Walters.)
But anyway - like I said, I don’t care. However, LifeSite provided the address for folks to send Christmas greetings to Barbara Walters - which I think would be fun to do - I want to send Sheri and Whoopi one too. The cards should be kind and sincere, and anyone sending them could promise prayers as well. Who knows, maybe Barbara will convert!

Happy Holidays!
express his own devotion to the Divine Child. Does anyone know if these are available in English? Does anyone want to translate them from Spanish? There is a French translation as well - which I could read with much effort, but it seems to be off-line now. Go here if you are interested in the Spanish version.
