Holiday, Schmoliday

I am making some seasonal scrapbooks, looking up Christmas quotes, and I found this gem:

In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!'

I LOVE IT!!! Too bad I didn't find it in time for my rant last month....
