What the Devil is going on?

Prince of Darkness, Prince of Peace

The Christmas season is like comfort food: it doesn't have to improve or change to rekindle memories of childhood, warmth and laughter.

The songs, the stories, the family traditions inspire thoughts of love, peace and harmony.

Reflecting on the angels bidding the shepherds, "On earth peace, good will to men" a Denver family crafted a holiday wreath in the shape of a peace symbol.

Then all hell broke loose.

Some neighbors saw it as call for peace in Iraq. Well, God forbid! Apparently in Denver's rarified air, "On earth peace" doesn't mean all the earth; just the parts without a US invasion occurring.

Worse, some claimed the design was a symbol of Satan.

Wow, the iconic peace symbol, designed 50 years ago to rally support for universal nuclear disarmament, is Satan's logo? Sheesh, who knew?

That really puts a twist on the Prince of Peace stories and hymns.

Next they'll want to take "Don we now our gay apparel" out of Deck the Halls!

Well, dreams of peace have always been part of my Christmas comfort.

If that upsets you, feel free to Fa-la-la-la-la yourself.
