Eh, I'm a Christmas FANATIC, but I don't really GAF how other people celebrate it as long as they're not millenial crybabies who complain about public/business Christmas decorations, promotion, etc.

I cannot overstate how obsessed I am with Christmas. AS SOON as Thanksgiving dinner is in my belly, I give myself the green-light to once again take up arms against the WAR ON CHRISTMAS and the battle does not end until the morning after the College Football champion is determined, which thankfully keeps getting pushed further and further after New Years giving me more Christmas time. My wife complains about me being white trash and claims that only "crazy people" would have more than one tree in the same room.

Obviously I am Republican as all hell too.

Ben Carson not personally erecting a Christmas tree in his own home doesn't bother me. Of course the white-house is a national institution and the property of the American people, so he drat WELL BETTER be OK with all out Christmas decorations there.

I'm from a Jewish background (my parents and I are Reconstructionist, the rest of my family is Conservative). I've never celebrated Christmas outside of the occasional Christmas party at a friend's house.

I understand the Merry Christmas thing for the week of Christmas but, beyond that, the whole Christmas for two months thing completely ruins my winter by reminding me how much 60% of this country wants me to assimilate completely.

Like, between the month of Easter and the two months of Christmas, it's a quarter of the year dedicated to reminding me that I'm a cultural and religious outsider in my own country. A country that, supposedly, is a secular country that supports multiculturalism.

And all the talking heads complain about the "War on Christmas."

Christmas in America is an American tradition that everyone should celebrate IMO.

I don't care if you're Jewish. Hang dradle ornaments from your tree, open a gift under the tree each day of Hannukah, put menorahs with multi-colored lights on them in your windows. I don't care if you're a Muslim. If you want to live in AMERICA you have to be an AMERICAN. Erect a tree in your living room, put lights everywhere, eat copious amounts of baked goods, buy a bunch of crap. Just use ornaments tailored to your faith. Instead of a cross, or a manger, just have your kids make some of those hand-print in clay ornaments and paint "Death to Israel" or whatever on them, IDGAF.

Embrace consumerism, gluttony, and over-the-top Holiday decorating or GTFO out of my country.

On second thought, gently caress Ben Carson. No Grinch should be POTUS.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



People generally do that.

It's just the professionally thin-skinned personalities looking for a new grievance to claim persecution for decided people were ruining everything by either not going far enough (Xmas instead of Christmas) or going far too far (including other faiths into the celebratory spirit of the season beyond a token nod at Hannukah).

Was your friend also Russian? Because our New Year's Eve is basically secular Christmas - presents, decorated fir tree, bearded dude in a red suit (except he's not fat because it's not America), etc. We probably drink a lot more than is typical on Christmas, though.
