Iraq officially makes Christmas Day a national holiday

CNN, could be an apple is a banana thing.
The Cabinet voted on an amendment to the national holidays law in the country that Christmas Day is a holiday for all Iraqis, and not only for the Christian community, as it had been for decades. 
"Happy Christmas to our Christian citizens, all Iraqis and to all who are celebrating around the world," the Iraqi government said on Twitter.

That this happened is in no small part Dubya's doing.

Whatever mistakes he made, I hope this one gets him his place Up Yonder.
