#4 According to the U.S. Air Force, “many pilots wore a traditional red “Santa” hat while flying on Christmas Day,” in support of Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Or could there have been yet another, more subtle reason ?

#8 I thought RED meant "retired, extremely dangerous"

Of course, wait till the PC crowd gets ahold of this and starts yammering about offending moslems with a celebration of Christmas.

I think the comment about working the naughty list is classic and should be placed in the hall of fame.

#12 So problematic.

An emblem, when getting your mitts in,
Enspirits ("On Donner and Blitzen!")

Extremism spawning! --
Jerusalem crosses on Whitsun.
