On the one day of the year when most avowed Christians might choose to be nice to each other it is always appropriate to read from this good book. You may not buy what it says, but it is always wise to hold two or more opposing concepts in your head simultaneously to achieve a kind of balance in your thinking.
I would add to Russell's POV by saying this day should not be seen as merely another day to thank the troops who are protecting rich white Americans' interests around the world, but should be focused more on the poor and powerless in that very same world who are victimized by those very same interests--again, if only for a day.
With that, back to reading the good book, and have a Merry Christmas.
