| Merry Christmas! |
I hope you all had a merry Christmas, despite atheistical attempts to drive God out of business through billboarding. "This Season," runs one snappy slogan, "Celebrate Reason!" which is part of a broader ad campaign called, curiously enough, "Out of the Closet." This hopes to make isolated, lonely, atheists feel that they've got company.

| HO HO HO! |
It's news to me
that they haven't but that aside, imagine, with "This Season, Celebrate Reason!" ringing
in our minds, we could cozily warm our secularist toes by the fire, all the
while merrily unwrapping treatises on number theory by Bertrand Russell, and
that's before the jolly feast of roast tofu that's basting away in the
oven. So much more reasonable than patriarchal superstition about Virgin
births, miraculous stars and wandering astrologers; to say nothing of what Marx
called the "bourgeois claptrap" of a traditional family—a husband,
wife and children gathered around a decorated tree to celebrate God becoming
Man. Get rid of this primitive nonsense, say the authors of the
oddly named ad campaign and replace it with something sensible, like reason.

You may or may not be pleased to know that Team LSP managed to avoid the heady lure of our godless marketeers and stuck with celebrating the birth of Christ.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
God bless,
LSP
