What in blazes is a Christmas Value?

Day two in my war against Christmas. I had to hop in the car to go do about 50 errands this morning. I flipped the radio on and after the in-progress ad finished, a voice started speaking to me in a suspiciously Fred Thompson-like cadence and tone. I think it may have been him, but I’m not sure. In any case, this Fred Thompson-esque voice spoke to me of Christmas values and how they’re only found in small pockets in America. Blah, de-blah, de-blah, blah..... And then a woman began singing some sad refrain and I punched the radio off.

I was so mad I saw 20 shades of red.

WHAT is a Christmas value? Who exactly are these special people who possess them and where are these small pockets in America where they reside in ever shrinking numbers? Huh?

A pox on his house. I’m sure that’s not a Christmas value. Tough. At least it’s honest.

Swearing off radio for real now. That’s it.
