This Christmas, you may find time for some holiday reading between church, opening presents, drinking eggnog, and watching the cable TV marathon of A Christmas Story. THE WEEKLY STANDARD humbly provides some links from our archives, in no particular order, to just some of the terrific stories and essays on Christmas. Enjoy!
