I thought they were still just recording that trite "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open fire" crap... only dudes that did it right were Johnny Mathis and Big Bird with the Swedish Chef. Hell, even Jewish celebrities do Christmas albums. That kinda music sells. You don't even need to write anything... just pay someone else's music rights. Simple as that.

If people want more Hanukkah stuff, fine. That's their religion and they are entitled to it. More power to them. But when they try to silence my favorite Holiday because it "offends" them in favor of pushing their own down my throat, I declare culture war. Plain and simple.

Personally, if you declare culture war nutzoids on both sides will win, and everyone else will lose. Sometimes, you just got to wait until both idiotic groups discredit themselves... Bill O'Reilly and... uh... whoever heads the Annoyingly loud Athiest Union are both gigantic turds... and at least one of the sides has books and crap to sell instead of people making their own decisions about everything.
Annoying Athiests came out of Annoying Christian groups, much like how annoying Christian groups came out of Annoying Hippies in the 1960's and 70's. Annoying groups like this feed off being annoying and loud... because we'll get someone just as bad speaking out against that too. So best thing to do is let them act like the loud, opportunistic zombies they are until they get caught up in their own petard.
