Hurrah! Mark Steyn is back!

He'd snuck into National Review, and here he is, back with his first Telegraph article in I don't know how long:

One December a few years back, I was in Santa Claus, Indiana, and went to the Post Office - a popular destination thanks to its seasonal postmark. 'Merry Christmas!' I said provocatively. But Postmistress Sandy Colyon was ready for me. 'A week ago,' she said, 'I'd have had to say 'Happy Holidays', but we've been given a special dispensation from the Postmaster-General allowing us to say 'Merry Christmas'. So Merry Christmas!'
