Yes Christmas is now all but upon us, for you watching this now, it may have already come or even come and gone.
This year's run up to the annual winter holiday has been entertaining in so many ways as Christian groups have fought tooth and nail to remind us that even they don't fully believe in their own magic book with a particular highlight being Bill Donahue and David Silverman's clash on fox news over Christmas trees of all things
We have seen bill boards and face book pages and the usual rant from Bill O'Riley but putting aside all of the usual crass commercialisation and the religious overtones and the accusations of who stole what from who,
What does Christmas really mean to the rest of us and what makes it so worth stealing.
I think the following sums it up better than I can.
A sentimental song about Christmas from Tim Minchin. This version is taken from the Australian 'Ready For This?' DVD. Buy the single version from iTunes, here: bit.ly/8SucQ5. The December 2010 proceeds will be donated to a secular charity.
His youtube channel is here:

If you like his stuff then please subscribe to him to make up for me "borrowing" his video.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
