Nobody owes you a Merry Christmas.
All of them!
And yet many are owing after Christmas!
I think we’re talking about Christmas here, you’ll have to wait a while for Halloween.
Pretty much everyone. Most people celebrate New Year’s eve - I know that some people have different calendars - but at minimum, a whole bunch of people get a few days off of work for Christmas and New Years. And, to me, that’s worth celebrating.
If i can piggy back on this, though – I’m sick of the “Ha ha ha it’s FESTIVUS!” jokes. It’s played out, kids.
It’s a shame that people that I care for are having their strings manipulated by the NLPC. Especially when it is just corporate infighting.
I have a dream. A dream that someday marc_bolan will post a hackneyed trolling OP, and nobody will respond and it will sink off the page as fast as if it were one of my threads.
What would happen if a marc_bolan thread sank like a stone, unloved and unreplied? Maybe he’d look for a new board.
You’re spelling it that way so it doesn’t come up if he does a vanity search, right?
Happy Holidays to one and all! (I just felt like saying it again).
I think it’s a terrible slander on the real Marc Bolan :mad:
Marc Bolan = lead singer and guitarist of glam band T Rex (one of my favorite classic rock era bands). He’s been very influential as a vocalist, particularly on Michael Hutchence, Daniel Ash, and Brandon Flowers (among many others)
Mac Bolan = hero of military action book series that are escapist getaways for adolescent boys harboring latent homosexual and/or Nazi tendencies. Utter shite read by morons.
The R makes all the difference.
For boys who might be gay, Marc Bolan is a healthier conduit.
It’s been awhile, but I don’t remember him being so…sensitive
An excellent blog post that addresses this inane issue was making the rounds on facebook the other day:
‘Happy Holidays’ and other four letter words.
From the blog: “There are actual problems in the world, and whether someone says “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” is not one of them.”
“Christ Mass” only lasts a couple of hours, you know.
“The Holidays” could refer to the several specific holidays listed in the OP, but it could also refer to the fact that the Holiday season encompasses many days. And if my family is typical, the fun peaks on Christmas Eve. Much of the singing, parties and other events take place in the days leading up to the 25th.
So you’re wishing them a good time over this entire period.
And for the umpteenth time, most Holiday traditions have nothing to do with Christianity.
I like to compare the gradual marginalization of Jesus in the Holdays to an organ transplant that is being rejected by the host body.
[checks forum] Ohh. It’s the PIT! Lovely!
How do you manage to get through a single day being as stupid as you obviously are?
BTW, you misspelled “christimas”, stooge. Happy Holidays!
At one of my previous retail jobs, we were required- not requested, but required- to answer the phone at Christmas time with "Merry Christmas, [Companyname/Store].
Do you know how many customers complained about this?
None.
So yeah, I’m glad this whole “Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays” thing is largely confined to the US.
Once, just once, I’d like to be wished “Happy Hibernation.” Preferably by my boss. I would go to sleep after Thanksgiving dinner and sleep through Black Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and wake up at 5pm on New Year’s Eve. Enough time to eat a honkin’ dinner, then get drunk for 8 solid hours with the rest of the civilized world.
I don’t know why it’s inappropriate. After all, Marc Bolan and the OP currently display approximately equal levels of brain activity. (The ‘Bang a Gong [Get It On])’ guy may have a slight lead.)
