(7,460 posts)Once they've completely done away with Thanksgiving ("skip the turkey and run in for HUGH SAVINGS!!!!!!!" they'll get to work on Christmas day ("don't like what ya got? Come right down and exchange it for what you REALLY wanted!!!!" .
Then we'll see how serious 'some people' are about that "War on Christmas".

There one can scan over the list of over 100 religious holidays that can excuse you legally from attending school in New Jersey. Got you covered from Christianity to Wicca to Scientology.
What makes Christmas so special? Do away with the hypocrisy and give it the status of every other religion. Does nothing but reinforce the notion that America is a "Christian" nation and helps sell a lot of crap and put the poorest of us in debt for the rest of the year buying Johnny the Ipad he whines about.
But religion and commercialism has got us by our balls. Time we became more secular and looked at Christmas with a colder eye. Then again, I love putting up the tree and watching The Christmas Story with the BB gun kid Ralphy and his family .
