Because the economy is in the gutter - We are starting the War on Christmas early this year.
What will your efforts toward this important initiative be?

I am attending protest rallies for marriage equality and doing other things to further the gay agenda.

1. I'm Jewish.
I don't have to do anything but light a Menorah, right?:D

35. Um, aren't you forgetting...
the traditional removing of the clothing for the sacred yoga?

PS Watch out for the candle wax. Just saying.

62. My wife is Jewish. My father in law once talked to me
Edited on Sat Nov-15-08 03:07 PM by old mark
about converting to Judaism. I told him I didn't believe in the religion I had been born with,or any other and he just said, well, OK, and never brought it up again.
I do have a gold star of David that I will wear for the season, and say merry christmas to everyone, reagardless.

5. apparently as a godless heathen
I'm supposed to be undoing Xmas altogether. But I'd rather just pretend it doesn't exist until after Thanksgiving. I'm so evil. :evilgrin:

Maybe I'll just tell everyone "Happy Holidays!" or "Merry Solstice!" ;)

46. I still have Catholic University's from about 10 years ago...
General rule of thumb...don't set up a nativity scene outside of the building where the Greek-life students congregate...you might lose your Jesi (6 years in a row!)

20. I'm already on it
I've had my Happy Holidays With Billy Idol cd on endless repeat since the day after Halloween. A modest effort but I've got my speakers in the windows facing the street and the volume turned up to 11.

22. Christmas here in the DEEP SOUTH is going to suck. again.
There's not a chance of snow. All those songs like Let It Snow, etc.? They just depress me. It'll be sunny and 65 or 70 degrees.

Sucks.

24. I'll be reading a Hannukah story during the children's sermon on a Sunday morning during Advent.
And reminding people that we DO HAVE Advent, and Christmas starts on December 25 and ends on January 5.


And wishing people "Happy Holidays!".

27. We are decorating in a death theme this year
Our tree will be strung with skulls, skeletons, bats and spiders and the topper is a star made of bones. Dropkid is super stoked for xmas this year.

I won't be shopping on black Friday, I won't be spending more than $200 this December on stuff for Dropkid (her b-day is in december too), and, if I do somehow happen to land on a pile of money, I'm giving people donations in their names to planned parenthood (killing fetii, very war-like), cancer research (science baaaaad), and my local animal rescue league (animals have no souls, people need stuff).

there's always hollandaise, bolognese and marinara sauces? With the bolognese and marinara sauces, they are especially great with shredded parmesean cheese.

57. I will participate in the War on Christmas by continuing my War on Festivus.
Well, at least my War on Lame Festivus Jokes. It stopped being funny five years ago. Now it's just annoying, and you should be damned to an eternity of Bing Crosby and David Bowie singing "Little Drummer Boy" for saying, "Well, *I'm* celebrating Festivus this year! Hehehe." and then smiling like you said something extremely clever when in fact you've made me long for for a painful twitching and drooling death for either you or myself, it doesn't really matter who, as long as it ends our conversation and at least one of us will be spared the pain of hearing that tired old pseudo-joke again. :rant:
