Merry F-ing Christmas!



Lately, there have been several debates about wether or not Christmas is "under attack." Of corse it's under attack! The problem is, by both sides!! I want to bitch slap some people!

And, as much as it kills me to say it, Star Jones said it best this morning when she said "This is the United States of America, "Happy Holidays" is appropriate!"

Of corse, she was talking about the card sent out by the White House this year. Apparently, the Catholic Church is up in arms about the fact that it says "a joyous Holiday Season." inside. Of corse it does! It goes out to some 1.4 million people of all faiths! They're not going to make special ones for the Jews and the Catholics and the Christians and the Mormons and the Buddhists and whoever and what nots!

They interviewed some Catholic priest on tv earlier, and he was all "They should say Merry Christmas! That's what this season is all about!" He was actually angry about it! HA!

Brief history for that Catholic priest, Jesus wasn't even born on Dec. 25th! The church said he was so that it could take focus away from...drumroll please....a PAGAN holiday! Since they had to move the date any way, cause the actual date wasn't known for sure, and mid April and or spring time wasn't convenient for them!

To top all of this bullshit off, this morning there was a story on the radio about a school that I have to add to this post. Apparently, this school was doing a giving tree, (take a mitten with the gift type on it and replace it with a gift under the tree.) Some dumbass, head up his/her ass parent made them take it down because they didn't want their child subjected to the Christmas tree in school, because it was a symbol of the Christian faith!! SO the school actually took the tree down, and put the mittens on a counter top. So now they have a "giving counter" instead of a giving tree because some dumbass parent was so stupid to believe that a fucking pine tree was actually a symbol of the birth of Jesus!!

This is Washington state you know, just adding lights and ornaments to a tree doesn't make it symbolic of Jesus. Maybe I'll just start decorating random trees around here and dubing them Jesus Trees! HAHAHAHA!

So, I suppose there is an attack on Christmas. However, people need to realize that it's not celebrated in this country any more strictly as a religious holiday. And, that it's ok to celebrate it just for the hell of being nice to one another, and giving gifts. You won't go to hell for not celebrating it as Jesus' birthday. And, if you let go of all of the God Damned propaganda attached to the fucking hoilday...you might just be able to enjoy it for yourself.

If people would stop complaining about stupid shit like a giving tree, and happy holidays in a card, then maybe I could enjoy it a little more too!

that parent is a dumbass, because the tree is actually a pagan symbol true. And my tree is the most beautiful of all pagan symbols.
