This is outrageous. It is unfair. It should be a totally unacceptable part of our society. We need to organize a march, we need to picket the White House, we need Pope Francis to say a prayer on behalf of the inflicted.

It's Christmas in about a day (depending on where you are) and the shackles of tyranny have not been shaken by those of us who are truly oppressed. While some people get to enjoy spending time celebrating the holiday in the manner they see fit, There are still some in the world who are denied this basic liberty. That's right, the poor paperboy and papergirls of the world have to work on Christmas. Not only do I have to deliver 465 papers on Christmas, I have to do so at midnight. Midnight!!! The paper is denying me the right to open my gifts the very second Christmas day is upon me.

We need to organize. Everyone put a one day hold on your papers. Would it kill you not to know that President Obama had a hole in one at his golf outing or that the retail stores didn't do as well as expected (leading story last 5 years, I say retail needs to lower their expectations). What's more, this year is extra work. Normally the Christmas paper is a mere pamphlet. You come in, make an origami chicken and laugh. This year it's the size of a Sunday paper. No easy night for me. I don't even have room for Felix in my car so we can look at the decorations on my route. So while you enjoy some yule, I'll be muttering obscenities at 465 homes.

Merry Christmas.
