OUR OPINION: Call It Christmas!

Our beloved cartoonist, Ron Taylor, better known to you as RT, is on a mission to restore Christmas back to this holiday season, which for a bunch of stupid reasons is now labeled the holiday season.

In years past, we have moaned and groaned over the growing encroachment of the holiday season in place of Christmas season. We wondered just what American holiday we are celebrating. We found 13, listed them and asked our readers to take their pick, but only Christmas brought with it the meaning of giving, love of family and the unfortunate, and is responsible for Black Friday, Giving Tuesday and all the other jazz.

This is the first of three cartoons leading to Christmas Eve and our Christmas Day issue. We hope, by using his cartoons, to help in some way to win the battle to restore Christmas to its righteous season. For now, the Christmas Tree seems to be the last holdout. So dust off the decorations from the attic, hang the garland as we begin a Merry Christmas season to you!
