Tank McNamara by Bill Hinds for November 23, 2015

Many of the songs played only during November and December are not Christmas songs, but are cold weather songs. Think about the lyrics to Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland, Sleigh Ride, Let it Snow, Frosty the Snowman. No references to Christmas. Should Christians take offense when these songs are played?

IMHO, the moment someone says “There’s a War On Christmas!” is when I know he’s a MORON.

If someone has started a war on Christmas, they are losing badly.

If there is a “War on Christmas,” put your money on Christmas.

Put the “X” back in Xmas!

We’ve become the United States of the Offended. I’m offended by that.

i thought those uniforms were crazy, the TV looked like a Christmas tree gone wild.

Good for you, Tank, for cutting the guy off the moment he started with the “War on Christmas” nonsense!

Even abroad, U.S. expats have a reputation for being incessant complainers and whiners. If you hate someplace so much, why do you live there ? Or…if the U.S. was so great, why did you leave ?

Getting back to the actual game, those uniforms put the “f***ing” in “fugly”…

My experience with the War On Christmas is that the directives came directly from corporate headquarters — Holiday decorations and Holiday parties could not mention Christmas or Santa Claus and any decorated trees were Holiday trees.

I’d really like it if there were commenters who work for Fox “news” : Do you have Christmas parties and Christmas trees?

And especially anyone who works for WSJ — any before and after changes since the Fox “news” takeover?

JohnHerbisonGreat point. I have a selection of mondegreen filks of these winter songs I wrote, including the other two verses to Deck Us All With Boston Charlie, but I don’t touch Christmas songs. For that matter, very few churches sing Christmas songs during Christmastide (December 25-January 6, the 12 days of), having sung them to death during Advent.

I thought they were a way to sell more jerseys. And use up ugly colored material.
