The War On Christmas

Junk: 11.25.07 star Culture, War on Christmas star

Consume Christmas Bill O’Reliy is fond of bringing everyone’s (well, that is, those who actually listen or watch his pontifications) attention to his “War On Christmas“. The problem I find with his “war” is that the soldiers or leaders of this so called war are never identified. After much deliberation I have decided to nominate myself as General in the War on Christmas. As I assemble my army I will seek to inspire and motivate the masses into action via this very blog. I will be attacking all other blogs that post about how wonderful and enchanting this pagan, commercial so called holiday is. Yes I am taking about you Jon Ward and your puff piece on Sufjan’s Mediocre Christmas, I’m taking you down, this is war.

As any good general would I have an exit strategy for this war: The Christian holiday will be moved to September 29, which is a much more accurate date for the birth of Christ then December 25, and the day shall be called Christ’s Birth Day. Further more I plan on doing away with all ridiculous symbolism associated with this time of year (i.e. Jolly St. Nick, the Tree, Missiletoe, etc).

@Don Juan, I will add you to the list of soldiers… We will need your covert, pandering skills to infiltrate the other side and spread propaganda.

@Che, Dude I’m on to you. This isn’t a communist revolution. So stay out of it. Go back to Cuba and enjoy nothing…. Allot of good your revolution did there!

@Don Juan, pander away my friend.

@Kelley, oh you don’t “have to go shopping” now… don’t do it. join the war effort.
