Thank you, good sir

Today's Birmingham News features a Baptist pastor bringing some much needed sanity and perspective to the tiresome debate over whether Christmas is under attack in a country where a large majority of citizens identify as Christians:

"Before Christians get too upset about 'Happy Holidays,' they need to remember 'holiday' is simply a derivative of the term 'Holy Day.' Saying 'Merry Christmas' is no more sacred than saying 'Happy Holiday.' It's a holy day. For Christians to get upset over whether we can say 'Merry Christmas' at Wal-Mart is silly. Christmas is not about what Wal-Mart says."
