Just being pissy.

I looked through all adds and flyers and it seems at the end of
December we are having a "Holiday"

One flyer proudly announced the availability of

"Holiday Trees"

ITS Christmas God Damn IT !!

If possible I will not be spending any money in

"Holiday Stores"

Maybe I am no genious marketer but with
85% of the USA population saying they are
Christians I don't know WF they think they will gain

I was used to a small amount of soft peddling when I lived
in a community with a high percentage of Jewish people but
against the secularists I would think they would rather have religous days then

Retail Profit Day

Agreed! I am so sick of all the political correctness. We're all so afraid to offend other cultures that we have forgotten our own traditions. Whether or not an American considers themself a Christian, we all share the tradition of the Christmas season. Why the sudden fear of offending newcomers to OUR country? Would they change their traditions were we to emmigrate to their countries? I wouldn't bet a nickel on it!!!!

So, Merry Christmas! And a Happy Channakah to all of our Jewish friends!

If the above offends anyone, get over it!

I just took the dump truck to the farm to dump a load of spent grain. I had to get out and release a chain on the gate. Now my boots smell like pooh.

There was a cow licking a wooden post. I found it relaxing to watch.

[Jaynnus]

bah-humbug!!

Im more pissed about the fact that Christmas seems to starting the day after Halloween all of a sudden. I was at Target the other day and they had 6 isles of XMAS stuff out.

Hey I just picked up a fairytail book for my 5 year old

and we were reading snowwhite and the 7 dwarfs, however, never once in the whole story did it mention the word dwarfs. They were refered to as little men.

Snow White lived in a house with 7 little men

That's bull. Christmas has never meant a helluva lot to me until I married someone that celebrates it. I'm American, but growing up Christmas was always taught to me as 'that other holiday' ('cept in school)...

Being PC is way too out of control.
Some law cases pertaining to this that I studied in school were so ridiculous, like a church that can't display a Nativity because people that aren't Christian don't want to have to see it when they drive by.
.....They better still play the Adam Sandlers' "Channakah Song"
this "holiday season"

[Rory McConoghy]

as long as anchor steam makes their Christmas Ale and not "Holiday" Ale I will be ok. the beer tastes like christmas!!! you cant say "this beer tastes like the holidays" thats just stupid.

[Honclfibr]

I've got a lot of problems with you people!

Oh, sorry. Am I late to the joke?

[mzdagrl]

I agree - "holidays" are bull. I am probably the only person who works retail for a living that loves Christmas, and I am all for political correctness and all, but WTF?? Our country is mostly Christian, of those, the vast majority actually celebrate Christian holidays. I am Catholic (by baptism, but not by actualy practice), and grew up celebrating Christmas with my family. But I never went to church on Easter or any other holiday. But, in March you can't go in any store without seeing easter candy, easter bunnies, easter this, easter that. Why is it okay to promote easter, but not Christmas? I had a friend when I was in high school who was the only Jewish kid in town. He LOVED Christmas. He exchanged cards with us (we of course got him a Happy Holiday or Happy Hannukah card or something) and if we did gifts, we got him in on it too. You can be a part of the holidays without actually celebrating Christmas, or Hannukah or any other holiday. Just sit back, let winter happen, look at some twinkly lights, and stop being Politically correct for a second. The government takes the magic out of everything....

[HBerry]

Working in retail for 3 years made me hate life, and christmas even more!

[richw]

Political Correctors like Easter





The state executed a religous guy why would they not like that

dinner and a show!

My point, Stoner, was that political correctness is wwwwwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy out of control. Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, I'm pretty sure that you're not offended by the fact that "Christmas" is the predominant and traditional holiday being celebrated. So, let's all drink the spiked egg nog and be merry.

It seemed you were implying that Christmas was an American holiday and whether or not we liked it Americans should celebrate it...

I'm not a fan of this PC bullshit world that's being forced fed to us. But on the other hand, I've been getting Christmas crammed down my throat for almost 40 years now by outside sources/media, etc. I'm glad 'they're' loosening up a bit on that...

If i see a friend & know they celebrate Christmas I wish em a Merry Christmas

If i see a friend & know they celebrate Chaunnaka I wish em a Happy Chaunnaka

If i see a friend & don't know which one they celebrate, I wish em Happy Holidays.

Christmas trees are CHRISTMAS TREES, not "Holiday Trees" just as Menoras are MENORAS not "Holiday Candle Holders"

and GOD DAMNIT, DWARFS ARE DWARFS!!! We should NOT be telling our children that it's ok for a woman to live with "Seven little men"!!!!!!!!! you gotta be FUCKIN KIDDING ME

My point is, call it the "Holiday Season" all you friggin want... cuz there's a whole bunch of holidays crammed into a short period... but call things what they are for Christ's sake... If you step in shit you stepped in shit, not "smelly holiday brownies"

Isn't that the holiday that they strap bombs to themselves then blow up innocent people of all faiths on their way to work?

[OreoGitorio]

There's no such thing as a real Muslim, silly, that's only in the movies.

[Stoneman]

The use of the word 'holiday' in place of 'Christmas' is strictly a marketing ploy. In all reality it has very little to do with political correctness and is mostly aimed at getting the non-Christmas population to play a larger role in the holiday buying frenzy that is normally associated with it...

[Stoneman]

I think it's a riot that you preach the sanctity of arguably wunna the most holy days of Christianity, yet you blasphemy your creator and savior by using phrases like, 'G_d damnit', 'G_d damn', 'for Christ's sake', etc...

That's funny shit, no matter who or how you worship...
