Edit: The make-believe war on Xmas

Just as the Christmas decorations and holiday music come earlier and earlier every year, so do the idiotic claims of the War on Christmas being waged in America. The first accusations of the season are courtesy Jeremy Morris, a Hayden, Idaho, man who fancies himself a real-life Clark Griswald. He has accused his neighbors and his homeowners association of waging jihad on Christmas for threatening to sue him if he goes forward with his plans for a massive display that includes tens of thousands of lights, a living Nativity, a 22-voice choir and a camel named Dolly at his home. Despite his claims, this supposed war has little to do with Christmas, some to do with rules and a lot to do with Morris' ego and desire for attention/Devin Rokyta, Moscow-Pullman Daily News.

DFO: We've discussed this at length. Any more thoughts?
