AA Engages the Enemies of Christmas
"You'll Have to Pry Christmas from my Cold Dead Hands"
|
AA can now report that there has been a major victory in the War on
Christmas – a victory so stunning that it almost certainly marks a turning
point in this long-lived bitter conflict.
We have a
new experience. We have victory - a remarkable and definite victory.
Now this
is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But, it is, perhaps,
the end of the beginning.
One remarkably achieved in non-Christian Asia. And like another Asian battle, that of Midway,
likely to prove just as significant.
Arqala Major—AA’s brother recounted to
this reporter that on a flight from Bangkok to Phnom Penh on Asia’s Boutique
Airline he witnessed or rather heard this glorious victory unfold first
hand.
Experts in matters of foreign policy and the military arts know that
this flight is under one hour.
Scarcely time it would seem for a real battle. Yet in that
scant amount of time a dramatic rout occurred.
Because the flight time is one
hour, there really is not time enough for typical in-flight entertainment. So the airline showed some short comedic
films of hidden camera pranks to lull the adversaries and catch them off their
guard.
Then suddenly the faint sounds of “Sleigh Ride Together” followed by
“Winter Wonderland”. Admittedly, not
religious songs. Yet songs about
Christmas.
The first salvo in a string of songs which softened up the
fortified positions of those who would take Christmas away from us. The
decisive blow came with a rousing instrumental of “Joy to the World”.
Just as the plane touched down, an instrumental version of “Christmas Don’t Be Late” by Alvin and the Chipmunks completed the
theological codex.
Victory! Glorious Victory!
But there is more.
AA’s
brother further reported that later that day he went to a mall celebrating
“Black Friday” with discounts up to 70% on selected merchandise for
shoppers. Yet another fundamental aspect
of the Christmas Holiday Season – sales and discounts – in full swing.
But as
one battle ends another begins.
We cannot rest until final victory.
On to theThanksgiving
Front!
