Disturbing Trends

What is it with all the sudden press on the state of the English Christmas? I'm a proud "'murican" as some say up in the homeland, and yet all day long I've been deluged by information about the current state of Christmas festivities in England. Is this punishment for going to an Anglo-Catholic service this morning? Does the LCMS hierachy have a direct line to God after all?

At any rate, if I'm going to be tortured, everyone else should be too. So here's Mark Steyn on Christmas movies, English style and an article in the NY Times on the horrors of English Christmas dinner. At some point during the Christmas season, I will write an impassioned defense of the plum pudding and mincemeat, but not today.
