As we approach the Christmas holidays, what editor thought this was fit to print? Here's an excerpt from "Christmas carols — with a twist" written by columnist and copy editor Dan Phelps at the Lowell Sun. Lowell is the fourth largest city in Massachusetts and is located 20 miles northwest of Boston.

Dancin' with a woman on TV.
You might say there's no such thing as Santa
Till you see what Chaz got 'neath his tree.
