This is not a happy time of year for us pro-capitalist, limited-government, Constitution-adhering atheists. For politics and economics I find Fox News the most reliable network (no matter what @masterskain thinks, assuming thatâs what he does), but it drives me up the wall when they start the war-on-Xmas religious-nut stuff. Not only should we separate Church and State, but we should separate Religion and the GOP. Whatâs the point of trying to oppose the Left when you agree with the Leftâs ethics which is just Christian ethics minus God?
I donât get ticked off about many things, but people who are so offended by a Christmas tree that they canât call it a Christmas tree are near the top of my list.
Iâm the last 1 to defend faux news but calling a Christmas tree a holiday tree sounds very strange. People who get their knickers in a knot & try to ban a manger scene or anything to with Jesusâ birth need to take a chill pill.
I just really hate the commercialization of Christmas. I mean, for crying out loud, a lot of places had their Christmas stuff on display before Halloween, this year!
The only thing Iâve purchased related to Christmas this year was a raffle ticket where the money went to tuition assistance and yarn to MAKE scarves for my nieces and nephews. HmmâŠ. wonder if her Maj would enjoy a camo scarf for going to warâŠ.

An xmas tree is just an xmas tree. I suppose the Christians would get a tiny bit more respect for their grubby little holiday if they hadnât pathetically ripped everything off from pagan and Egyptian religions.
My favorite Xmas songs are:~ âA Christmas Carolâ by Tom Lehrer~ âGrandma Got Run Over by a Reindeerâ by Elmo & Patsy~ âThe Night Santa Went Crazyâ by Weird Al Yankovic
12 â Have Yourself A Merry Frakking Christmas11 â The Twelve Steps of Christmas10 â Oh, Holy Cr@p9 â The Little Scummy Boy8 â Oh, Come On, Ye Faithful7 â Iâll Be Hanged For Christmas6 â Oh, Come, Oh, Come, Emmanuelle5 â Carol of the Howitzers4 â What Fresh Hell Is This? (Bonus Quatloos if you can tell us who wrote this one)3 â Itâs The Most Depressing Time Of The Year2 â You Have The Right To Remain Silent Night1 â Do You Smell What I Smell?
Oi, Iâm not talking about religion here. You can have your religion, or not, how you please. (I was raised Methodist but I havenât stepped foot in a church for 25 years.) Regardless of why it is called a Christmas tree, say the christians stole it from the pagans 2,000 years ago or whatever â those who celebrate Christmas deserve the right to call it a Christmas tree. No one goes around demanding that Jewish people change the name of the Menorah to âHoliday Lampâ on the chance that non-jewish people are offended.
One of my favorite Christmas songs (& I was scolded for it when I tried to find a copy a few years back) is âThe Pretty Little Dollyâ-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjrdX7u4Mp0
war on xmas? what war? and, what constitutes a the war on xmas on fox news? is it the commercialization that they are for or opposed? or, is it the secularism that is too much or too little? or, is it that santa is satan? or, something else stupid like santa is a communist who gives away toys to kids, without the kids working for it? anyway, the foreign corrupt practices act will be charged against them for bribing british officials and cops for hacking everyoneâs phones.
Itâs on private land. You could display an annual âBlack Mass with Bloodâ during the holidays and thereâs nothing that anyone could do about it. Thatâs where the âwar on Xmasâ nits get it wrong. Put up your displays on your property and stop implying that the government is going along with it.

Iâm not offended by the Christmas tree per se. Itâs a perfectly good pagan tradition (the Romans decorated trees) so I call it a Yule bush. Deal.

My favorite " Christmas Carol " comes from The Pogues â their famous A Fairy Tale of New York. A different kind of song worth the listen.
