We can win the war on Christmas. . .

I am so pissed about the phony war on Christmas crap that it has taken away all my Christmas spirit, or has it given me the ture Christmas spirit? Instead of buying presents for people I bought a card for each one and put inside that I had made a generous donation in their names to the local food bank.

I didn't decorate my house, didn't do any shopping, no worrying about what to get so and so. I have to say, at this point I'm ready to thank Fox.

Oddly enough, I was with a bunch of people last night, some of them are very religious, and they started the conversation. Saying they too had stopped buying Christmas presents. One of them even said "this blather about a war on Christmas got me thinking about the meaning of Christmas. I'm donating to the food bank instead. I don't need any more "stuff" and I'm sure they don't either."

I wonder, have we reached stuff saturation? It was shocking to hear these very religious ladies saying they were sick of the commercialism AND doing something about it.

We should agree that there is a war on Christmas but it is not against Christians, it is against Wall Street. And join the push back. Make the shop keeps say "Merry Christmas". When the birth of christ is more closely associated with consumerism maybe everyone will wake up. "Happy Holidays" let even the churchy people among us think that the consumerism was not about Jesus. Let's make them connect the dots.

I've given up on Xmas. I love the traditions but I just do them 4 days early.

I got so mad at Bush's fascist wire-tapping that I finally had to join.

Looks like this site could take up a couple hours of my day.
