Christmas not just religious holiday, but tradition

Published Nov 12, 2009

I hear them silver bells ringing, and the bright snow's glistening shroud can be seen on the distant horizon. That's right, the Christmas holiday nexus has arrived. This, of course, includes all wintry festivities from tacky sweater parties to all additional excuses to drink eggnog, and believe me, they are plenty. But alas, along with this glorious arrival comes the derogatory remarks that by hosting such other secular activities in the name of this religious holiday, we are in fact demeaning its true value.

The only problem Frog fans face this week is which one of the many headlines to follow first? So as you sit in class or in a cubicle, taking in as much Frog news as possible on your computer while tuning out everything going on outside your purple blinders, allow me to untangle the web of jubilant mayhem that surrounds Fort Worth before the showdown in Cowtown.
