SANTA HELP US, THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS HAS STARTED AGAIN

I'm dressing up as Krampus for xmas this year. Gonna fight for Santa while lookin' like I'm in GWAR.

To help you in your holiday shopping, the American Family Association has its "naughty or nice" list posted.

To quote Elyscape:

wat

The "for Christmas" list is twice as long as both the "maybe" and "against" lists combined but totally trust us Christmas is under constant attack holy Santa pray for us!

Wow, I expected to see FOX news, but so much of it, I mean ALL of it was FOX news.
I need to scrub my brain now.

THE NATIVITY IS CANCELLED

I wish there was a war on Christmas, because maybe then we wouldn't have decorations, carols, and related bullshit in fucking October.

There is no War on Christmas. Neither the president nor Congress has declared it or taken action. At best this could be seen as a Police Action on Christmas, except that it is entirely being fought by corporations and individuals, so it's probably best described as a Resistance Against Christmas, or a Revolution. A Civil Action?

Or, it could just be people and corporations (which are apparently people too) exercising their right to free speech and freedom of expression. You know, unlike the Christmongers who are demanding that everyone celebrate Christmas the way they want it to be celebrated. Well, I suppose it is within their rights to complain about it, even to boycott stores they disagree with... hmm, I guess there is nothing to see here.

Won't somebody think of the poor oppressed Christians?

We really should stop throwing them to the lions in the Circus Maximus so much.

But without Christians for entertainment, will the Circus Maximus still give +5 happiness?

I like that "AGAINST CHRISTMAS!!!" translates to "only uses the word 'Christmas' occasionally in their advertising instead of constantly."

Christmas the Christmas because Christmas to Christmas Christmas.

AFA-approved advertising. My rates are low, people.

If Fox News values tradition so much and wants to spend the next month telling us all what to do, I demand to know which of their number stands ready to be bound to the altar of Saturn.

There's little that makes me as angry as Christmas. I don't celebrate it, never have, never will. I'm an atheist who grew up Jewish, and to me the shock at my not wanting to participate in Christmas was always kind of a point of pride for me: I am an immigrant, I am not Christian, and I'm proud that I don't just take up another culture's celebrations so that my own can flourish. But seriously, shut up about Jesus and Santa already! (Yeah, I'm jaded.)

I've been noticing more and more that lots of Christmas songs and movies are about people forgetting about or losing out on Christmas. What's with the fear? It's not like there are a lot of people as angry as me about Christmas.

As long as I still get time off between December 21 and January 3, I don't much care what they call the days in between. The same goes for Easter weekend.
