Here we go again. The war on Christmas returns, and it seems the only ones that care are journalists that have nothing better to write about. Originally made popular by America’s favorite pundit (puke) Bill O’ Reilly, it pretty much was under the radar for the mainstream press until I opened Bill Janklow’s favorite ‘Alternative Press’ yesterday. Please. These are stories reserved for cable news stations that are named after forest critters and grocery store tabloids.
The greeting Happy Holidays, which has been around for over 60 years in America, refers to this time of year when several holidays are next to each other, like Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years. The greeting isn’t meant to offend. I say Merry Christmas ON Christmas.
So put your guns away, and let’s try to get the media to concentrate on the REAL wars that are going on.
hey, whattya know.
i agree with you 🙂
Just for that Bobbi, I just might send you a Happy Holidays gift.
If anyone sends me one of those &^%$# FW: War on Christmas chain e-mails, I’m referring them directly to this cartoon/thread.
Olbermann had a great piece on O’Reilly — as Bill-o can’t even do the math to realize how long ago Christ lived.
The irony here is that the “war” on Christmas is the blatent commercialism and “business” built around Christ’s b’day. Instead of peace, harmony, good will to fellow men, it is encouraged to go elbow your fellow man for the limited “good deals” at 5:00 a.m. on Black Friday.
Bah! Humbugs, I say.
