You Christmas light hating mofo’s baffle me. The lights are pretty! You’re just not doing it right. You’re supposed to eat the mushrooms _before_ you take the tour of the houses!

Someone knocked over your reindeer? Geez, kids today have _no_ imagination! In my day, those reindeer would have been rearranged into some… interesting positions.

When I decide to decorate my house or car with tacky eye-sores, they’ll have my permission to vandalize the fuck out of them.

You want to put up retarded displays – especially this far out from the fucking holiday – then put them up inside your own damn house, so the rest of us don’t have to see them.

If someone decides to put up lights, a Nativity scene or whatever it may be on their own property, regardless of what time of year it is…do you really have a right to complain about it if it doesn’t infringe on your freedom, your home, your life?

Jeez, this poison directed at Christmas lights (and the encouragement of the vandalism thereof) is utterly baffling to me, especially coming from the denizens of this liberal-minded board. Live and let live. Who cares? Jeez…it’s only for a month. Satisfy yourself that the Griswolds are encountering an obnoxious electric bill and leave it at that.
