Prickly City by Scott Stantis for December 04, 2018

Keep that capitalist consumer based economy just humming along until we all go broke enriching the one percent.

Happy Holidays.

Don’t whine about consumerism. Make gits or buy handmade gifts from your fellow Americans.

Supposedly, the health of our economy depends upon there being an orgy of consumerism every December (in the name of Jesus, of course).

If that’s true, our entire economy stands on a very shaky foundation.

Thanks Carmen. Perhaps you are alluding to this, the real reason for the season.Luke2:8-148Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock.9The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear.10The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.11For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.12And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”13And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:14“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Prickly City — aka the four panel comic that only publishes three!

But mostly the getting. Be honest. We’re all secretly all three year-olds at Christmas time,

Whatever happened to the War On Christmas?

Do all retail clerks now say “Merry Christmas” instead of happy holidays?

Does Fox “news” and all corporate offices now hold Christmas parties?

.

Is there a Republican somewhere that realizes that replacing ‘Christmas’ with ‘holiday’ (the War On Christmas) came from corporate headquarters and not The Left?
