Few historians know of the heartwarming friendship between French Reformation theologian John Calvin and English political philosopher Thomas Hobbes, the latter of whom may or may not have been real, considering he was not even born yet.
The perfect gift for that hard-to-buy-for Presbyterian in your life.
The National Park Service: Hostile To Christianity. And To The Public.
From their HFC Editorial Style Guide:
So evidently BC and AD are a big no-no with the NPS. They never say why. But this is what they say at the beginning of their style guide:
References often disagree—that is why style guides exist—and questions of style must be decided with the public foremost in mind. This is the audience for whom National Park Service public media are produced, not scholars, historians, scientists, or bureaucrats. It is important that the editorial style used throughout your publication, exhibit, web page, podcast, audiovisual production, or other media be consistent.
Yeah, you and your friends and everybody you know uses BCE and CE, right? Sheesh . .

And if you see any other product with both Santa and the Little Baby Jesus, please let us know in the comments!
I found the text here, but I remember this well from the tiny 90-bed St. Joseph's Hospital in Belvidere, Illinois. When I saw this posted in the elevator that took you up to the second floor, which was the top floor, I was impressed how the Catholics didn't leave anything to chance. If you click on the image you'll get a 2x version, suitable for posting in that ancient freight elevator in that old factory you work in.
