What would we do without a friendly holiday column praising the crass commercialism of the Christmas season?
It seems that as some try to further secularize Christmas, the reflex has been just as harmful: condemning anything commercial associated with the holiday.
Trust me, buying your kids a "SpongeBob Nautical Nonsense" DVD in no way erodes their belief in the Shroud of Turin. In fact, if churches just started handing out Electronic Minimoto Sport Racers, they would be teeming with adolescent boys.
