On Tuesday, I reported that the Marines had
declared war on Christmas by refusing to accept 4,000 talking Jesus dolls for their Toys for Tots program. Well, today they
waved the white flag.
The Marine Reserves' Toys for Tots program has decided to accept a donation of Bible-quoting Jesus dolls, reversing course after saying earlier this week that it couldn't take them.
"The talking Jesus doll issue has been resolved," the organization announced on its Web site Wednesday. "Toys for Tots has found appropriate places for these items. We have notified the donor of our willingness to handle this transaction."
The short note on the Web site did not explain what it would do with the dolls.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a battery-powered Jesus.
