The War On Christmas Just Got REAL!

by the way, I think it's called "globalization"

I buy for my wife and kids. That's it. My wife chooses to get some limited gifts for others (parents and extremely close friends) and bake goodies for the neighbors but that is her thing. I don't do it.

Hell, my wife is lucky if I buy for her. More often than not I wrap what she buys for herself and then I add a little something as a surprise. I literally do nothing else.

Yeah same. I was trying to be charitable to myself.

way overblown out of proportions. Who cares!?

If you don't currently have anything to worry about you should probably start worrying about this.

That line cracked me up.

Oh, and merry Solstice!

That's pretty clever. But of course that's the reason for the *winter* season (if you live in the Northern Hemisphere), not the reason for the *Christmas* season.

Well, since Christmas is a ripoff of winter solstice celebrations that came much earlier than Christmas celebrations I'd say it is actually the reason why Christians celebrate Christmas when they do. Just like Easter is a ripoff of spring equinox celebrations.

I mean other than the birth of Jesus and his resurrection, of course.

But it might be the reason Christmas falls on Dec. 25th....

What does "Rudolf's" red nose....and "Eggnog " have to do with the birth of Christ anyway?

It explains the reason WHEN we celebrate Christmas, sure. But obviously not why.

He said why it falls on 25th of December. Not why we celebrate, which is obviously to get drunk.
