The Fake War on Christmas is Back.... Already... in OCTOBER WTF.

From Wonkette:
Conservative thingy WorldNetDaily.com is launching the anti-War on Christmas extra early this year, lest “the American Civil Liberties Union grinches” kidnap and neuter Santa Claus while his minions aren’t watching.

Jesus wept. And that third bumper sticker is horrid.

Unfortunately, they aren't the only ones gearing up for a fight.

Oh god, William Donohue and the Catholic League. Now *those* people make baby Jesus cry.

If you can look at these things and still have trouble figuring out that this whole "War on Christmas" thing has been cooked up out of sugarplum dreams and elf farts for the sole purpose of taking money away from the gullible, I don't know how to help you.

Double word.

There is no war on Christmas. There's no war on Christians! It's all hype, propaganda, fear mongering and a way to make a buck.

I celebrate Christmas. I sing carols. I put up a tree. I spend way too much money. At church, I'm doing a service on Advent and trying to get up the nerve to sing O Come, Emmanuel as a solo.

I'm a Unitarian for god's sake! *g*

Christians have NOTHING to worry about in this country. They're the vast majority! Try being a Unitarian/pagan/witch/agnostic! Thank god (again) for my liberal town where such things are accepted.

...I wasn't aware that people needed paraphernalia to keep me away. Normally the "Happy Christmas!" from a perfect stranger who clearly doesn't appreciate the fact that not every celebrates their holiday is enough to send me flying.

Diamonds? I'm more of a sapphire girl myself.

I'm confused. Is "Merry Christmas" an American tradition because the British say "Happy Christmas"?

Usually I say Happy Solstice because that day does exist as an astrological event, whatever you do or don't believe. But to these people I might say "Joyeux Noel". It means "Merry Christmas" in French, and their heads might explode. 'cept, wait, that might be too 2002... would Feliz Navidad be better these days?

P.S.

Now if I just had a picture to put that on, I could submit it to Loltheist.

Speaking of... I am kind of terrified and yet not surprised that this pillow exists. *has Handmaid's Tale flashbacks*

Sexy Saturnalia, to you!

[snolan]

I try to keep things light and humorous... so we wish most people a sexy Saturnalia (history buffs will know that may be why the end of December was picked to be the birthday of an overly celebrated Jew).

But - we tend to honor the faiths of anyone we bother sending cards to, provided we know their faith; and send them the appropriate holiday wish, whatever it is. Most of our friends... it's wishing them lots of Pasta these days, as they've mostly become Pastafarian.

Ramen!

I kinda meant to be a Pastafarian, but I couldn't make it all the way through the holy scripture, so I'm still not sure where the pirates come in. :( Ooh, maybe I could be a lunchline Pastafarian! *cracks self up*
