As a former Journal Star paperboy in my youth, I always looked forward to my one day off. Christmas. There was no paper on Christmas and it made sense to me. With that in mind, I was not expecting, nor did I care, to have a paper delivered last Sunday. Christmas Day. There are two reasons why there would be a Christmas delivery: a) Don’t want to offend the “happy holiday� crowd. b) Money. The real reason. To not print the big fat Sunday paper with all those ads that I throw away would be a big loss. I never did get around to reading the “Christmas Paper�. Later in the day I did take the time to dump all the ads in the trash, glanced at the cover which was all fluff, and then dumped it in the trash also. I’ll be honest, I don’t know why it annoys me so much. With all the attacks on Christmas, it just seems like one more tradition going down the tubes.
