Flipped off on Xmas

For most folks, whether one is religious or not, Christmas is all about “goodwill toward men.” Alas, some people didn’t get the memo. Two such persons threw a hissyfit -- on Christmas Day -- because the Los Angeles Times did not wish its readers a “Merry Christmas” on the front page. Reader Anthony Filosa wrote: “Went outside to pick up my papers on this Christmas morning. The other paper had a very prominent front page Christmas greeting. But your paper was void of any reference to [Christmas]. Bah humbug." Reader Mike Miser wrote: "As a Christian I ask that God forgive you for your avoidance of any recognition of Christ's birthday." One is mean-spirited. The other is sanctimonious. And both are clueless about the meaning of Christmas. Wow.
