Jesus as pitchbaby?

In a recent story on MSNBC, I learned that the American Family Association has apparently declared progress against what they referred to as American retailers' "War on Christmas" - where retailers tend to celebrate 'holidays' and not 'Christmas'.

For what it's worth, I'm fine with 'Happy Holidays' being used by retailers. As a former ad executive, I could stomach Joseph (a carpenter by trade) shilling for Craftsman Tools, but I cannot trust my former
advertising colleagues not to trade Baby Jesus' swaddling clothes for a Snuggie - size small. I find that prospect more than a little disquieting.

The AFA should be careful what they wish for.
