[1] A note on Holiday: years ago, we noticed there was a shift in the way people expressed winter greetings — fewer “Merry Christmas’s” and more “happy holidays”.

Happy Holidays

I hope everyone is having a great Holiday[1] season and a merry FSMas. Here are some of my favorite festive things this year:

What do you think — next year, will the Florida Capitol allow any religious displays?
