Here is the video version of my essay on why I am not offended by Christmas — and how the war on Christmas and Hanukkah began. Do you feel a slow darkening of the holidays over the last few decades?

Thank you for just being you, Naomi and for standing courageous and strong as I am sure it helps more of us to think of you and choose strength in face of darkness that wants to infiltrate our lives. Merry Christmas, Naomi, and everyone reading this!
