Jonathan Zimmerman on the "War on Christmas." Says he, it's all about the money.

Y'know, I can remember when the big debate over that holiday was about its over-commercialization. My friend/idol Stan Freberg produced a record called "Green Christmas" all about how advertising agencies were exploiting the hell out of a day which was supposed to mean more than a sponsor's chance to sell more tires. Now, the big complaint from those who profess to hold Christmas dear to their hearts is that it's not commercialized enough.
