With angels on top?
Sequined uteri.
You’re out of your gourd.
You too.
You need to take pictures.
I feel bad for not being more specific with my well wishes to their respective recipients, so “Happy belated Gay and Lesbian Pride month!”.
I genuinely can’t remember the last time I used any of these phrases in real life, or had them used at me. Misanthropy FTW!!!
My thoughts on this? If Merry Christmas were the gold-standard of tradition, steeped in the folklore that baby Jesus was born on this hallowed day; Hallmark would be manufacturing “Belated Birthday Jesus!” cards. You just know someone would have to screw up and forget his birthday.
Merry Consumermas to you, mac!
I’m really tired of this imaginary war about Christmas. Don’t you have some gold to sell?
What douchebags? I didn’t see it. And I just got warned for making friendly banter in a music thread, so I’m wondering what’s up. My advice is, break the candy cane in two – it’ll last longer and stay fresh longer too.
Don’t be such a grinch, you’re not going to have a happy Hanukah with that kind of attitude. But happy holidays to you!
If I were religious I think I would want my very spiritual, sacred holiday to be as far away from the crass consumerism that Christmas has become. I would think the best thing for Christians would be to take Christ out of the secular holiday and leave him in church where he belongs.
Also, I will add that as much as I don’t want the government mandating that I have to say Happy Holidays I also do not want the hysterical members of the majority to force me to say Merry Christmas.
<shrug> If someone says Happy Holidays, I say it back.
If they say Merry Christmas, I say it back.
Twice now I’ve been asked if I was buying Christmas toys for my son. (He’s turning 7.) I said yes both times. Why make the cashier be uncomfortable? They are just trying to be nice.
I really wish people DIDN’T make a fuss over Hanukkah, though. It’s not the Jewish Christmas. I wish more people recognized other important holidays sometimes, but that’s okay. I usually get a “have a good holiday” around the Jewish holiday season and I appreciate it.
But really, OP? Someone is trying to be inclusive and polite and you’re Pitting them?
…there is? Who?
Oooh…you found a contradiction in the Bible?? Weird. That almost never happens.
Oh well, I will choose to uphold the verse I like, and you defend the verse you picked, and Christians and Non can rejoice in the peace, tolerance, and common ground you and I forged in this now sacred thread which hovers over hallowed ground. Someone alert Jimmy Stewart. Happy Holidays, and God bless us every one.
How about a fondness for aliteration?
I would rather say Happy Osama’s Homobortion Pot and Commie Jizzporium. But that’s just me.
Make that Commie Coffee and you’ve got yourself an adherent.
Here’s a new one on me in the conservative offenderati’s everwaging war on Xmas (Which I think is hilarious, btw!) I know someone who is boycotting Coca-Cola (switched to Pepsi) because they have a Polar Bear Conservation Fund set up in conjunction with their long-time use of the Polar Bear as a Mascot during the Holiday. It kind of mixes the whole global warming issue with Christmas advertising and Polar Bears… He claims that polar bears are at their greatest populations ever, or something…I kind of wonder what blurb he heard or where he got the idea to be up in arms about it? I figure it was probably from Rush or Fox or maybe some Hunting Dittoheads.
Be a great “Holiday Issue” for Stephen Colbert to get on board with considering his Bear hate.
Ahhh… found the Polar Bear culprit at the NLPC whacksite.
That article paid for and sponsored by Big Oil… “Big Oil, always environmentally responsible” Yea that’s the ticket… It’s like people have forgotten about the summer of BP already.
It’s funny, the politics of stocks, lobbyists, bloggers, and corporations… Big Oil vs. Big Bev.
