A letter has been preserved, from the year 1827, in which an American bishop made the following observation: "The devil has stolen Christmas from us. The devil has stolen Christmas, the day of our spiritual redemption, and converted it into a day of festivity, shooting and swearing." To which, quite recently, someone added these words: "If the bishop thought the situation bad in 1827, he should see us now! December is an absolutely chaotic month! Frantic shopping, double and triple parking, office partying, and all the rest. The devil has stolen Christmas from us too!"
