I know, last year we were all taking a breather after the election but damn it we need to get going on this. It was either Sun Tzu or Patton who said, Those who fail to prepare before Walgreens gets their Christmas stuff up is preparing for failure.
Okay so much of their troops have been redirected to fighting Critical Race Theory dissertations in elementary schools which is either some brilliant work by G2 on our part or just dumb luck. This may help isolate them if we have effective single envelope maneuver.
Now this whole Just In Time inventory collapse is like a weather anomaly but well take. Boy gotta love that capitalism devouring its own commercialization of a holiday. Thank you God!
Anyway, I do think we need to get going on this.

(113,527 posts)christmas merchandise for a month now. Both it and safeway have started their toy drives, which is a sad commentary on how bad things are.
But, ready whenever the orders come down.
I forgot to mention, I'll be using my usual "season's greetings", "happy holidays", etc. Really passes them off.

(47,567 posts)Every damn year!!! Sometimes it feels like we just ended last year's war on Christmas and then it is time to do it again!!!
Captain Stern
(2,201 posts)The War on Christmas used to be really fun, but now it's just far too commercialized.
Takes the fun right out of it for me.
PatSeg
(47,567 posts)have the war every other year. It would give us more time to prepare and it would be far more satisfying. Maybe we could have a war on Christmas one year and then a war on Easter the next. It sure feels like I just packed all my war stuff away and now it is time to take it out again!
Sadly, it just isn't as special as it used to be.

(54,436 posts)"What if they had a war and nobody came?"
Republicans have been showing up every fall, armed to the teeth, looking to fight a war that never existed, was never fought, and was only declared in their imaginations.
And still they show up, thinking that THIS year, they'll see Godot.

It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

(19,204 posts)With the FSM prominently displayed, but shouldn't he be portrayed in a colander instead of a manger?
The Pirates ☠ of the Caribbean are a nice touch as well. Perhaps a GI Joe with the Kung-fu grip in addition?
All in all, a smashing crèche display, but may I suggest Kangaroos, Komodo Dragons and perhaps a Tyrannosaurus Rex instead of the usual sheep, rams and donkeys? They were all on the Ark too, don't forget.

(21,786 posts)I'm going to encourage folks to say Merry Christmas. I'm going to put lights up around my house, I'll get a Christmas tree, I'll play Christmas music, I'll buy gaily wrapped gifts.
When they see I encourage Christmas, they'll react the same way they did when I encouraged vaccines.
They will refuse to participate because nobody tells them what to do, and they will want to own the lib.
Christmas is doomed!

(50,562 posts)Why the Grinch Stole Christmas. In it, the Grinch was so pissed off by the Karenness of the Whos that he broke into their houses, stole their stuff and had his Russian cousin blow it up with his 2S5 152mm self-propelled gun. Unfortunately it didnt work because the Whos just bought new stuff.

(50,562 posts)For some reason they dont sell inflatable Elmer Fudd figurines. What I shall do is buy an inflatable Santa and reindeer set, put the sleigh in my shrubs nose-first, and throw the reindeer all over the yard in a random fashion - the Fudd statue would, of course, imply he shot Santa down. Id really like to have a door wreath that says Bah Humbug on it, but I fear Im going to have to make it. I should also get a couple pieces of scrap coroplast at work, print Why the Grinch Stole Christmas on them (hint: he was working retail) and put them up for all to read. After all, its not Christmas without reading the stirring lines They pulled the Grinch out of his nice Whoville store / and sent him to one in Ulan-Baator.
