american christians are super busy this year spending billions of dollars constructing a wall to keep jesus and mary the fuck off their god ordained property.
it's apparently the enlightened thing to do. as the no room at the inn syndrome is all the rage.

The first articles I see on this every year are ones where atheists are whining about Christians allegedly whining about it.
I think this has become an annual tradition that has the power to last that kwanza did not.

I like Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone. Let's just not drag religion into it - no one cares about that side of it. We all know it's about family, food and presents. And anyone who pretends otherwise needs to get out a bit more and enjoy the Christmas spirit!

I remember a fair amount of talk about kneeling Santas in the 70's.

babes balancing on botox
between the massive amounts of erectile dysfunction and the outright gumption of hordes of americans seeking jesus to guide their excuses someone let loose the imperial notion that injecting migrating potions in and around the oceans that are those eyes would somehow make writers around the planet hard when it never was a front yard held captive the beauty inside.
so this is how i ride fully aware of epiphany's streaming alongside.

Hell... There was a time in this country where notion of a War On Christmas... was Christians demanding that the holiday not be celebrated... and punishing those that did.

That’s nothing compared to Christmas Day in 1066
It was almost a year since Edward the Confessor had made his deathbed prophecy, and perhaps some of those who had been in attendance in Westminster thought that the many thousands of English dead were atonement enough and that the tree of England might now repair itself and grow green again. But the demons had not quite departed. On his coronation day William had prudently posted knights outside the abbey to deal with anyone who was not demonstrating unconfined joy at the great event. When the guards heard the shouts of acclaim from within, the vivats, they concluded that some sort of assault was under way, for which the standard response was to set fire to every building in sight. The historian Orderic Vitalis wrote:
‘...as the fire spread rapidly through the houses the people who had been rejoicing in the church were thrown into confusion, and a crowd of men and women of every rank and status, compelled by this disaster rushed out of the church. Only the bishops and clergy along with the monks stayed, terrified, in front of the altar and only just managed to complete the consecration rite over the king who was trembling violently. Nearly everyone else ran towards the raging fire, some to fight bravely against the force of the flames, but more hoping to grab loot for themselves amid such great confusion. The English, believing there was a plot behind something so completely unlooked for, were extremely angry and afterwards held the Normans in suspicion, judging them treacherous.’

a gethsemane gun lobby for a christmas ornament
i was tempted to hang my fervent prayer jesus ornament atop my christmas tree this time but decided that if he was yearning for peace on earth while his followers are getting busy recruiting the latest converts to laser guided gun clubs where even the artificial shrubs have names like rosetta stone sally and hard core lily of the valley then i'd be better off worshipping the nra which is pretty much the same as the gethsemane pea and walnut game american christians have adopted since they started to endless replay god bless the usa.

Celebrating on the day of the winter solstice predates the Christian era. When Julius Caesar established our calendar, the winter solstice occurred on December 25th. The date of December 25th was now set as the day of celebration even though the winter solstice drifted one day every 128 years. Pope Gregory corrected the calendar drift, but his calendar put December 25th four or five days after the winter solstice.
I say, we should all celebrate Festivus on the 23rd.

I remember when people were getting upset over Christmas not being on Starbucks cups. I mean really? You're upset because your deeply held spiritual beliefs aren't being reduced to being plastered on some symbol of corporate consumerism? Is that really how shallow some religious folks are?

I miss when the 25th December was all about family, feasting and celebrating good times and being together - y'know, we used to have our decorated tree, yule logs and mistletoe to make it look all festive - all the traditional symbols and activities of a pagan winter festival. And then some new cult tried to steal our special day for their own purposes and claim it was their special day (even though their own texts would indicate that the thing their meant to be celebrating would have happened four months later in the year) and then they complained that we weren't celebrating our festival right?!? How does that work?

People who can't find love in their hearts for Christmas need to have their heads chopped off.

Is it me or does it look like the baby Jesus is clutching up his blanket for protection with a "You better fuck off" look on his face?
