Our friend Bernard Brandon Scott also has his bit to say about what he calls the “mush gospel” that combines bits of Matthew, Luke, Charles Dickens, and Santa Claus.

To that I would add Clement Moore’s The Night Before Christmas and the red suit from Coca-Cola.

Since we are not meeting, I thought people might be wondering what to do on Wednesday, so I’ve added links to Brandon’s blog posts. Happy Christmas and Merry New Year
