All I Want For Christmas

So what will it be? "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays?"
It better be "Merry Christmas," or WE are going to get ANGRY!

How exactly does forcing some poor Joe earning minimum wage to say Merry Christmas to me validate my religion? Wait--I can answer that--it doesn't, because my faith is deep and abiding and needs no one else's sanctification.
On another level, this issue has gotten entirely too much attention. It should be ignored, along with the blowhard O'Reilly who apparently started it. I don't get cable TV but I know it's been all the rage lately. ENOUGH! Ignore these foolish people and enjoy this time of year. (By the way, Happy Solstice--yesterday).
P.S. Liked your song yesterday.
Jemison:
I know what you mean, and I am enjoying the season. I just wanted to point out the irony. I welcome your visits and your comments, and I'm glad you liked our song...
Yup, that's the last christmas for me, I think. I'm done. No more. They can have it, keep it, throw it away, whatever they want to do with it. No more cards, no more hoopdedoo. Feels good. Really does!
"The bottom line is that they had what I needed at Wal-Mart, so I went to Wal-Mart to buy it."
Cock.
Short and to the point - not that the idiots who need to get the point ever will.
And as usual Simon shows more understanding and respect for others than these "Christians."
I too am ready to jettison Christmas, or Jesusmas. It's based on a pile of lousy stories anyway, pilfered from the Egyptians. Yeah, go figure.
I like presents, though, and I like even more giving them to people I care about...and dammit, I can do that all year 'round!
You gotta admit, the music is good. The festival will remain, whatever you call it. I urge you guys not to give it up. I remember an experience many years ago when I realized why lights were on Christmas trees. I was looking up on a cold solstice night when I realized the trees were all bare and the stars were shining though them...that's a decoration we could all agree is in order. My wife has a simpler explanation--she says, we need the extra light. The days are short. The nights are long. Time to contemplate...to embrace the cold and dark, to put the year to rest and look toward the next...
Happy Holidays, Viscount!
Ditto.
