I think Christians should be more upset about the commercialization of the holiday than whether they say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays.

Anyone who takes "Christ" out of Christmas in any way is participating on this "War on Christmas."

Most of this "war" however, is in Bill O'Reilly's imagination.

Mile Davis had it right a long time ago... This is my favorite Xmas song and it's the only one I'll play for anyone who wants to hear that kind of music...

I just shot 2 fir trees and a reindeer.

They are innocent victims in all this.

Don't give me that innocent victim business.

but I did not shoot the Christmas wreath.

One of the great holiday classics of the American south!

Just insane.

when I visit at Thanksgiving.

I mean it's Rum-Pah-Pah-Pum??? How the frak does anybody get that wrong?

I ain't biting this year-all CD's on my drive to work. Little Drummer Boy actually sets off mental health issues with me now.

I don't know when they start them, but they're up and running right now:

the only NPR station I can get on an actual radio is run by the regional religious cabal and they start that crap on Thanksgiving and keep it up until Jan 1. I am thankful for the Interwebs and my substantial cassette collection since the only other radio station (that I can get on my radio) is moldy oldies and they focus on the same theme for waaay too long as well.

My neighborhood has quite a few Indian families, so maybe those lights are for Diwali (Nov. 3 this year).

Please, O Flying Spaghetti Monster, let them be for Diwali.

white/clear tiny lights strung up along the ceiling in my cabin... I hate overhead lights unless I'm looking for something... and these make it seem like the wood stove is the light source for the whole place, all two rooms of it. Makes it feel cozy and rustic.

About time to set out the reindeer traps on the roof and charge up my anti-snowman devices.

I can't wait to say " Happy winter solstice" to some unsuspecting Fox News viewer. It'll make them lose their lunch, I suppose. I wish I could say it to Glenn Beck, and Billo. They would be livid. The tides would stop coming in and out.

Christmas died
because the reactionarkies tried
to stop our side
from telling the truth
about the righteous liars
who say Christmas died
despite the fact
They were the punks
pushing Xmas junk
starting way back in july!
(and also trying to stop poor folk from getting Obamacare, kids from decent schools, vets from well earned benefits and the elderly poor from basic security)

satan holiday that rots our children's teeth and makes them sick from eatin' all that candy. The dead will rise. boooooo
Sorry Wiccans I couldn't resist.......

Didn't you get the memo? In the continuing attack on jesus, we need beef up our worship satan through scary costumes and gifts in his honor.

On both occasions, you have resurrection from death

when I saw xmas decorations alongside Halloween decorations at Target.

I like to find either a motion sensor talking Santa statue or better if they took a nativity out of the box and dress them up in Halloween costumes.

I may have to do that tomorrow when I go to Target.

So I guess you can start launching the missiles now, if that's what floats your boat.

It was weird-looking, really. I hate the retail "stretch" of holiday seasons. It's such a turn off.

Next we'll have the Valentine's candy hearts next to the Christimas lights and menorahs.

We are hating on Easter already!

None of that Christmas horseshit.

Which they renamed All Saints Day and then called it All Hallows Eve and then called it Halloween and THEN decided it was evil and now call it the Autumn Festival or Harvest Festival.... which sounds strangely Pagan.........

I should not read DU after chugging Nyquil..........

Some pagans believe Samhain is the new year, not January 1st.

I do.

Hope you feel better, that Nyquil is powerful.

I have some Nyquil sleeping pills, weird and wild dreams come after taking that.

I don't usually remember my dreams but remember those.

In color and totally wild.

I've had the flu all week and knocking myself out with nyquil is the only way to sleep... I get a few hours of wicked deep sleep with crazy dreams, but that's better then none at all

And the goofy thoughts too. I keep hearing my former HPS telling me "Priestess heal thyself" and then in my head my response is "You totally must have never had the flu" ~grins~

wild looking mouse with big eyes.

It happened very slowly, no one else in the dream thought it was strange but me.

I only take the pills if I can't sleep period.

They knock me out but the dreams are far out there.

What the hell is in that stuff anyway.

benedryl does the same thing to me. Once I went into aniphilaxis from an antibiotic, they rushed me to the hospital and shot me up with a ton of benedryl on the way. Apparently I snored like a wildebeest for 8 hours in the ER. SO embarrassing.

I only that the clear capsules now.

That was one weird dream.
