Saying "Merry Christmas" — and meaning it — means saluting the birth of the prophet who once proclaimed, according to the Gospel of Luke, that his mission was "to preach the Gospel to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." The kind of folks who don't just find no room at the inn but get hauled off to a detention center in King Donald's America, where a rich man may not pass through that eye of a needle into heaven but at least now he and his heirs will be keeping a lot of more of his earthly spoils, and where a "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" in all caps rings hollow across the land.
