Sarah Palin will be releasing her third book in November, criticizing the commercialism and homogenization of Christmas.

Just when you thought Sarah Palin had ducked out of the spotlight with the summation of her Fox News career, she鈥檚 back in fighting form with a book deal on 鈥 what else 鈥 the 鈥渨ar on Christmas.鈥

That鈥檚 right, get ready to revisit the Christmas wars, Palin-style.

The nation鈥檚 most impersonate-able politician is penning a book titled A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas, scheduled for publication by Harper Collins in November.

鈥淎midst the fragility of this politically correct era, it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs before the element of faith in a glorious and traditional holiday like Christmas is marginalized and ignored,鈥 Palin said in a statement released through her publisher, . 鈥淭his will be a fun, festive, thought provoking book, which will encourage all to see what is possible when we unite in defense of our faith and ignore the politically correct Scrooges who would rather take Christ out of Christmas.鈥

According to the publisher, the book will explore the 鈥渙ver-commercialism鈥 and 鈥渉omogenization鈥 of the holiday and advocate 鈥渞eserving Jesus Christ in Christmas.鈥

This will be Palin鈥檚 third book (after 鈥淕oing Rogue鈥 and 鈥America by Heart鈥), and by all accounts, the third time鈥檚 no charm.

Things can鈥檛 be going well for the nation鈥檚 one-time almost-vice president if she鈥檚 writing a book about Christmas. In March.

As the , 鈥淐hristmas books are like Christmas albums: They are not things you make and announce in March when your career is going anywhere good.鈥

And the 鈥淐hristmas wars,鈥 really? We thought the nation had moved on 鈥 from that manufactured hullabaloo 鈥 and from Palin.

It鈥檚 certainly not the first time publishers took on dubious book .

But whatever doubt we cast and whatever Palin writes about 鈥渙ver-commercialism,鈥 one thing鈥檚 for sure: this baby鈥檚 gonna sell.
