12/26/2014 Church News, "Respecting Others’ Holiday Beliefs, Traditions" (LDS.org)
We love and support one another without regard to which church we attend on our Sabbath, or if we don’t attend at all. We respect and are aware of each other’s beliefs and values. We love our neighbors and the beautiful spirit they bring into our lives.
This is why we often simply say: “Happy Holidays!” because that covers everyone.
The Satanic list! Note the evil use of "xmas" rather than keeping the Christ in Christmas!!!!

“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
I think we should all send Oaks a Christmas card this holiday season. Make sure you remember to mention Jesus. My card will have a picture of Rudolph saying "Holy Jesus H. Christ, it's Christmas!!!!"

Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen
Dallin Oaks is an apostle, right? I remember hearing all the time about how busy the brethren are (which is why we can't talk to them), what a burden Church administration is, etc. Yet apparently one of them has time to categorize and over-analyze the many, many Christmas cards he gets.
