Holyday Wishes

Well thank you! May you also enjoy a lucrative Sears Macys Bloomingdales Ace Hardwares Saks K-Marts Wal-Marts Nordstroms Restoration Hardwares Kragens Apples Dells Amazons Michaels Burberrys Panasonics surfeit of orgiastic material consumption!

The name of the holiday desperately needs to be changed, not to mollify any religious sensibilities but simply to accurately reflect the dominant, overwhelming, incessant, relentless, wanton consumerism being celebrated to obscene excess, to "CrushMash", where most of our time will be spent in the next few days in the mobbed aisles and corridors of great American retail.

So Merry CrushMash in the land where nine tenths of the country's youth thinks it's Santa's birthday - and where icons and altars of worship to Santa (in all the stores) outnumber the symbols of the season's putative hero whatsizname 400 to 1!

And a Happy New Year!

Holyday or Holiday?

 

Holyday sounds right to me.

 

This greeting would be lovely inside a nice, non-denominational holiday card. I wonder if it's available?

I could throw this up on cafepress for you to buy if you really want If that's an original work and not lifted from elsewhere on the net, I'd be obligated to share profits with TheAnnoyingOne though! I could also just make a PDF so you could throw some nice card stock in your printer and make it yourself.

p.s. i made a slight edit to the first sentence... "implied or implicit" sounded redundant to me.

p.p.s. and now that I think about it, that should be the outside, and the inside should say "That is to say, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"

 

And as the ACLU would say, Merry Christmas to you, too!

 

Merry Christmas to you too!

 

Merry Christmas to you too!

and... GOD BLESS AMERICA.

To all who understand and appreciate the TRUE significance of this holiday season:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
​

 

...and happy hanukkah, a couple days late.

because the true significance can be different things to different people.

 

Actually, if you're talking about the TRUE significance of the season:

JOYOUS SOLSTICE!

 

And of course there's
FESTIVUS
for the rest of us.

 

Thank you Annoying One. I enjoyed that, even if it was intended to make fun of folks like me.

But what about Jewish, Hindu, or Muslim Republicans, etc.? Not every Republican is a Christian.

 

I'm going to bet that the Jewish, Hindu, and Muslim Republicans don't get all in a huffy when they see a cross, the 10 commandments, or any reference to "God". It's typically the liberal democrats that rant and rave about how much they hate "God", even though they don't believe in him.

 

When did this thread turn from being a light-hearted bit of holiday joking to the "Desynch moans about how some people practice different beliefs than himself" thread?

I bet you got a kick out of those "War On Christmas" graphics that were on TV a few years ago. The poor oppressed majority...
