REGRETTABLY, THERE WERE CASUALTIES IN THE "WAR ON CHRISTMAS"

HOLIDAY GREETINGS. YES, THE AUTHOR MEANS HOLIDAY GREETINGS.

The so-called “War on Christmas” is over and Bill O’Reilly has declared victory. The Author is heartened that O’Reilly’s long delusion may be over.

The Author says “HAPPY HOLIDAYS” or “SEASON GREETINGS” for several reasons. First, many of the Author’s friends are Jewish, Atheists, Muslim, Pagan, as well as Christian. Let’s be inclusive. The Author would not wish to be excluded from a Dingus Day party because he is not Polish.

Second, the whole racket, from Thanksgiving until after New Years, is one long commercial and social slumming event. Christmas Shopping Season, which used to begin on the Friday after Thanksgiving, now starts in September. It is interminable and abominable.

Finally, there are a whole damn bunch of Holidays that are amalgamated near the Winter Solstice. Christmas, New Years, Hanukah, Saturnalia, Kwanzaa, and the Author’s personal favorite, Festivus. Our world heritage probably recognizes thousands more of them coterminous with the Winter Solstice. The Author will not single out one for special treatment.

When it is Hanukah the Author recognizes this fact. When it is the Winter Solstice, he will be cognizant of this. On Festivus, December 23rd, he wishes people Happy Festivus. On Christmas Eve and Christmas, it is Merry Christmas. Get the drift. Understand the logic. It ain’t hard.

Only Bill O’Reilly and his sub-moronic sycophants seem to struggle with it.

NO ONE EVER NEEDS A REASON OR A CALENDER EVENT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME IN THE DESERT OF THE REAL!
