My personal war on Christmas

Liberal writer Julia Ioffe was peeved. “People, please stop wishing me a merry Christmas,” she tweeted late on the evening of December 19. “It’s wonderful if you celebrate it, but I don’t and I don’t feel like explaining that to you either.”

Later, the correspondent for Gentleman’s Quarterly wrote that “the omnipresence of Christmas for a whole month is deeply wearying and alienating to some of us who do not celebrate.” She then turned this into a Washington Post op-ed, calling it “impolite and alienating.”
