One of the chief of these (unauthorized?)canons was the "Canon of Light." I wonder what's going on nowadays?

The Doctor Asinorum (and now I as well) spends his Thanksgivings with some friends from college, who gather each year at the home of one of their parents in a town in Ohio. Last year, when we were there, their community hosted a tree-lighting event on the weekend following Thanksgiving, and since it was just a block away, we all decided to walk over. It was about what you'd expect -- Santa Claus and candles and the singing of secular Christmas carols. At the end, a cheery woman wearing bells around her neck heartily invited everyone to "bring the kids on down to the Masonic Temple, where there will be cookies and crafts for the whole family!"<BR/><BR/>Our companions could not understand why the Doctor and I found this so uproariously funny.
