BTW, members of my family, even though they are atheist, do a little xmas thing, mostly for the kids. I, however, have done nothing for about 15 years. I mean, nothing. No tree, no presents, no lights, no anything. The day comes and goes, my company pays me for a day off, I sometimes go out and walk the mostly empty streets on the day itself and enjoy the peace and quiet, but otherwise, NOTHING. So not everybody does something on xmas. I do nothing at all. I like it. It’s the only time each year that my neighborhood is QUIET (unless, of course, the landlady lets her manic childred come over too early — and then it is POUND POUND on the ceiling).

By the way, I used to work at Salon, and that day pass ad has been one of the few things that has helped them survive. Give ‘em a break. Even buy a membership. The “free” press in this country is virtually non-existent, and has a very hard time funding itself. Salon has remained a unique and courageous voice — and has to jump through many a hoop to figure out how to stay alive. They should be commended for the fact that they are still alive and pumpin’.

It is indeed like the red scare, but the communism was a movement that
existed. While Christians are indeed being prosecuted in China and a few other
places, the idea of an “anti-Christian Conspiracy is the biggest frauds of our time.

Interesting tidbit: The man who wrote “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” was a Jewish Communist. It’s great when things like this slip past Jeebus worshippers.

I like the day off work, for sure. I enjoy hanging with the fam too. I even sing the carols with them since they don’t mean shit. Then I get to add to the old man’s prayer every year. For instance, when he does the old Thanksgiving prayer tomorrow, I’m gonna add my two cents (everyone anxiously awaits my input every year):

And lo, LORD (Praise the LORD!) thank you for the hurricanes that hath smited the sinners this year. And thank you for the poor and weak; the sick and the stupid. Clearly your warning not to stray from the many different versions of your word. In Bert’s name we pray, rAmen.

Not everybody celebrates. My family and I don’t, and we have both atheist and jewish friends who don’t.

I made a similar post today on my blog as well. It’s all quite ridiculous.

Everybody in this country celebrates Xmas to some extent, even us. This is xians re-hijacking a holiday that they originally hijacked from pagans in order to stamp out dissent. Gotta love the tactics these fuckers come up with….
