By now we’re probably used to hearing about “The War on Christmas” only in the context of shrill, alarmist Fox News pundits whipping their viewers into a yuletide frenzy over whether or not the phrase “Happy Holidays” runs counter to America’s Christian founding. Suffice it to say, “The War on Christmas” has, to date, not been a particularly classy affair.
Wouldn’t people take this so-called “war” more seriously if it were presented, not by screechy talking heads, but by the soothing tones of PBS docu-dynamo Ken Burns? Well, thanks to the folks at Slate V, we can finally experience the “War on Christmas” as the somber, heart wrenching conflict it truly is – A conflict which threatens to tear this country asunder with but a single tug at a loose stitch on our national Christmas sweater.
