Ah, but remember that this wasn't about Nelson, it was about how much Jesus loves Nelson more than all the rest of us! <sarc>
Oaks is still worse. Oaks brags about all the cards he gets, and then judges those cards people send him.
"Today it is difficult to find a Christmas card that features a religious image or a religious message. To illustrate that point, I analyzed the Christmas cards I received at my office and home a few years ago. There were many, so this is not a small sample. Significantly, my sample was biased toward religious images and words by the fact that most of the cards were sent by fellow leaders or members of my faith.
"I sorted the cards I received into three groups. In the first group I put the traditional cards — those with an overt mention of Christ and/or pictures evocative of the birth of the Savior. Only 24 percent of the cards I received were of this traditional character. In the second group were those cards whose pictures and visuals were not at all religious, but they did have the words 'Merry Christmas' to identify the religious origin of the holiday. This was the largest group — 47 percent. In the third group — comprising 29 percent of the cards I received—there was no mention of Christ or Christmas, and no religious visuals at all. These cards had words like 'Season’s Greetings,' 'Happy Holidays,' 'Peace in the New Year,' or 'Peace and Beauty of the Season.' A few were so daring as to refer to 'Peace on Earth' or 'Faith, Hope, and Love,' but none had any pictures suggestive of religion."
