they say the war on xmas starts earlier every year. looks like it's true! walking the dogs this evening i see someone in the neighborhood has already thrown out their xmas tree! about time too, not a needle left on it.
Hasn't Fox already begun it's Xmas version of"white people are so persecuted" line of stories? It's hard to be a honky
I think that all you guys genuinely hate Christmas. We're talking a Frenchman, a weird black fella, a bearded PhD, and a guy with a kinky tiger avatar. I on the other hand love Christmas.
Gawd, I wish there really was a War on Christmas. Then, there would be a chance of winning that war and ridding this country of the scourge of forced "gift"-giving, two solid months of the worst music ever written, occasional reminders that the season is really about people's imaginary best friend's baby Jesus, righteous indignation when you refer to him as people's imaginary best friend's baby, hideous decorations (inside and outside homes and businesses), and constantly being reminded that, hey, despite the horrifying commercialization of it all, at least it's time for family togetherness or some bullshit. I hate everything about Christmas. Literally everything. And I literally mean literally.
Ever been to Canada in November? They totally bypass Thanksgiving and Christmas is in full swing. Well, other than the fact that they already had their Thanksgiving in October. Not only does phedre44 want the terrorists to win, I saw him holding up a Terrorists scarf and singing some incomprehensible song to the tune of a nursery rhyme.
I'm not for an all-out war. I'm in favor of a war of attrition until it is contained to a sensible manageable size. Like Easter.
I remember growing up in Detroit all the wonderful words people called me: Honky, Cracker, Peckerwood...no idea what any of them meant. The War on Christmas i one of my favorite parts of Xmas...being surrounded by Xmas advertising, trees, wreaths etc... and then hearing crusty old white people complain that it's gone to hell in a hand basket
Fortunately you won't have to use up any of your carbon credits as Santa is using Clean Coal lumps for stockings this year.
It just wouldnt be Christmas without the War on Christmas. It goes hand in hand with eggnog. CBS has the Grinch/Charlie Brown hour. ABC had Rudolph. Somebody else has heat miser/cold miser. The War on Christmas is Fox's contribution to the Christmas pantheon (so to speak)
Between the Hallmark Channel and ABC Family's Christmas movie marathons, it's clear that Christmas has gone on an early offensive. We need to combat this quickly.
Why don't the 2 just combine and create a 365 day a year Christmas channel. It's what the people want.
Sooo 20th century. What we need is to search everybody before they get to the checkout counter, and to send a bunch of drones out to blow up Christmas trees and creches and Salvation Army Santas...
i thought this thread would be to make fun at rather than join in on the wae on xmas. but after seeing this: http://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2013-11-22/new-york-city-holiday-guide i think i just might jump sides. WTF? the only UNtouristy things to do in NYC at xmas are filling up at designer eateries? thanks for the great tips ms. decarlo! you're the greatest!
We are making fun of the war on Christmas because, well, there is no such thing. It's the right wing Christian paranoia invented by fox.
