Christ died for our sins over 2000 years ago, and even though that's Americans don't celebrate Jesus on Christmas anymore, at least don't get your panties in a knot if stores or whatnot want to say Merry Christmas. There most be something else to complain about.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"Sugar, we're goin' down swingin'"
work at an engineering firm
