GIVING A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO "HO, HO, HO!"
A US Army Infantry Battalian Issues Unique Christmas Card


Apparenty, some creative military chap in Iraq who appears rather adept with Adobe Photoshop altered one of Saddam Hussein's captivity photos to give him a more, um, jolly appearance:

Christmas Card Shows Captured Leader in Santa Garb

This image was quickly adopted and adapted by our fighting men and women for all kinds of other Christmas decorations, which have been proliferating amongst the troops in Iraq. Of course, we suspect that the chief reason American military folk are able to get away with this and other obviously government-sponsored Yuletide endeavors is that the Anti-Christmas Litigation Unit (aka, ACLU for short) has not yet opened up an office in Tikrit.

But give them time.
