Spec Faith Thursday

I almost forgot ... I'm taking Beth's place for the month of December over at our team blog, Speculative Faith. See today and last Thursday for a look at how "the speculative" relates to modern holiday celebrations.

Just don't get all upset and start defending Christmas, because I'm not looking for a debate. ;-)
