"War" for Idiots

I can't imagine that any sensible person would see this year's (superficially less festive) Starbucks holiday cups as a sign of some sort of "war on Christmas". On the off-chance that someone who holds such a view is reading this, allow me to make a modest proposal. If you honesty feel compelled to boycott Starbucks over this issue, please put your Christian values to work by donating the money you would have spent there to your local food bank. That way there will be more people able to experience some sort of Christmas while you steel yourself for the battle to save it. Of course, that presumes that the holiday needs saving from anyone other than self-proclaimed Christians who seemingly care more about the cups in which overpriced coffee is served than putting Jesus' teachings about compassion to work here on earth.
