And we can't forget Congressman John D. Dingell, who saved Christmas last year:
Dingell's HOLIDAY Jingle for O'Reilly and House GOP
Washington, DC - Congressman John D. Dingell (MI-15) recited the following poem on the floor of the US House of Representatives concerning House Resolution 579 on 12-14-05, which expressed the sense of the House of Representatives that the symbols and traditions of Christmas should be protected. "Preserving Christmas" has been a frequent topic for conservative talk show hosts, including Fox News's Bill O'Reilly:
'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the House
No bills were passed 'bout which Fox News could grouse;
Tax cuts for the wealthy were passed with great cheer,
So vacations in St. Barts soon would be near;
Katrina kids were nestled all snug in motel beds,
While visions of school and home danced in their heads;
In Iraq our soldiers needed supplies and a plan,
Plus nuclear weapons were being built in Iran;
Gas prices shot up, consumer confidence fell;
Americans feared we were on a fast track to…well…
Wait--- we need a distraction--- something divisive and wily;
A fabrication straight from the mouth of O'Reilly
We can pretend that Christmas is under attack
Hold a vote to save it--- then pat ourselves on the back;
Silent Night, First Noel, Away in the Manger
Wake up Congress, they're in no danger!
This time of year we see Christmas every where we go,
From churches, to homes, to schools, and yes…even Costco;
What we have is an attempt to divide and destroy,
When this is the season to unite us with joy
At Christmas time we're taught to unite,
We don't need a made-up reason to fight
So on O'Reilly, on Hannity, on Coulter, and those right wing blogs;
You should just sit back, relax…have a few egg nogs!
'Tis the holiday season: enjoy it a pinch
With all our real problems, do we honestly need another Grinch?
So to my friends and my colleagues I say with delight,
A merry Christmas to all,
and to Bill O'Reilly...Happy Holidays.

And just as an afterthought, I would actually consider regifting, if I owned anything that anybody else wanted.

I love that Mariah Carey- All I Want for Christmas video. It's a little cheesy and very static but I love the Phil Spector girl feel of it all.
By the way Dingell's Holiday Jingle? WTF?
I would say John Dingell shouldn't quit his day job, but he's such a tool I kind of wish he would.
Congressman John D. Dingell is currently the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives. He is well respected on both sides of the aisle. I would not characterize him as a "tool." Perhaps you are unclear on the circumstance of the situation.
In 2005, Despite the war in Iraq and other national concerns, the Republican led Congress spent their time voting and passing resolutions about things like flag-burning and Terry Schiavo.
Near the end of the year, FAUX News started running propaganda about an alleged "War on Christmas." Following the bidding of their corporate masters, the Republican members of the House of Representatives started running their latest version of empty, diversionary politics - House Resolution 579 to "preserve Christmas." (Like Christmas **somehow** needed saving, and this concept was more important than other issues facing the government at the time.)
In defiance to the Republican's ridiculous position on House Resolution 579, Dingell recited the above poem on the floor of the US House of Representatives. It was a bold and gutsy move, thumbing his nose at those in power and laying bare the foolishness of the house Republicans.
In his own way, Congressman John Dingell saved Christmas for those of us that were cringing in horror at the colossal turds of duplicity that the Republican led congress were peddling at the time. Somebody was at last speaking out to the evil imperialist morons in power.
