Congressman Joe Walsh saves Christmas

Christmas tree farm,
Three Rivers, Michigan

I borrowed the headline from Cal Skinner's McHenry County Blog. While the title might be an overstatement, but Rep Joe Walsh (R-IL), teamed with Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR), led a bi-partisan coalition to overturn a 37 year-old ban on members of Congress from saying "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Hanukkah" in letters to their constituents.

Walsh quashed, at least for now, the Obama administration's Christmas tree tax.
