NBC's Christmas story was the softest of lead items. Thanh Truong filed from Delta Airlines' traffic control center in Atlanta with a cross-promotion for NBC's sibling cable network, the Weather Channel. Truong covered disrupted flights, delayed shopping and storm-threatened travel plans. ABC's closer from John Berman was a Christmas feature that was at least adorned by fine art. He showed us the Tiffany stained glass window of St John the Divine at the First Baptist Church in Brattleboro Vt. The church has decided to auction it off in order to raise funds to keep its homeless shelter operating--offering price $75,000.
It is fitting that it was in St Matthew's gospel, not St John's, that Jesus Christ rejected the idea of selling expensive possessions--in that case ointment--in order to raise money to give to the poor.
