How I feel about the "War on Christmas."



Honestly, it’s the last thing to fight about, even if others are trying to pick one.

Happy Holidays, all y’all, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Return of the Sun, have a Cool Yule, Peace on Earth. Love while you can, everyone you can.

🎅🏽🎄🌞✨💝🕎

“Pretend to be good always and even God will be fooled.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater


and for one of my faves



“Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth controlling in America. Thus was the savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system created. Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun.”

It's a RW pseudo-meme, intended to fire up the rubes.

And I particularly like that song - caveats, sweet sentiment, and all. Is good to see people’s shining faces when you can. Am glad you posted it.
