They're already sneaking Christmas stuff into the stores...

I think it's a shame that this stuff is starting so early. I sound like my father.

 

I'm right with you bud. I saw my first Christmas commercial on TV yesterday. I mean, I could live with after Thanksgiving but COME ON!

 

Did you know that Hallmark doesnt make cards for when you are giving sx toys to your chick ? Thats a gross oversight

 

I'm with you. The stores are full of Christmas stuff, 90% of the population in the U.S. observes Christmas, Christmas accounts for 50% of the yearly profits for many stores and yet you will not hear a store clerk utter the words Merry Christmas!

"Have a nice holiday" is best left for Columbus Day. It is ridiculous for Christmas.

You are too attached to reality to be a good politically correct Zombie

 

There are none for swingers either.. those lame 'friend' cards just don't cut it.

 

If Christmas was not sandwiched between other religious holidays, I believe the "Merry Christmas" may be more acceptable. Move Christmas to the middle of June where it can not be mistaken for Hannakuh or Kwanza (sp?). It would not bother me if some said "Happy Hannakuh" to me by accident, I wouldn't correct the person, I'd just say "thank you". I do not understand why people get worked up over this stuff, but obviously it bothers them so "happy holidays" works for me and it covers everyone since New Years is a holiday regardless of religious beliefs.

Before anyone gets too worked up about Christmas please remember the celebration is not about getting yourself a 62" plasma TV but of the birth of Christ. Why do you buy yourself and your family presents to celebrate someone elses' birthday? Imagine you go to a friend's 50th birthday party and instead of giving a gift you say "hey Bob, I got myself a new set of clubs to celebrate your birthday", WTF?

 

I will not eat at any restaurant that plays Christmas music and I got all of my shopping done last August....Bahhh Humbug!
