- I'm not hearing this-- Your holiday, his holiday... Don't you understand what's being celebrated tonight? Hope, and peace, and love! You can't do battle in the name of love! This is a season for everyone... But your anger cheapens it! Every time a man raises his hand against his neighbor in the name of his faith, he renounces his faith!
