41. Yeah, where's your PROOF?
I want to believe in celebrations and presents as much as the next DUer, but I'm waiting for definitive, conclusive, video-taped evidence that this is more than just a few small, unwrapped gifts exchanged between friends.

:p

The holiday where soccer moms celebrate by fistfighting each other in department store aisles over the last Ipod?
I hear some lib'ruls are trying to ban it this year. At least that's what Bill O'Reilly said.

29. Start of Corporate End-Of-Year Bonus
After layoffs and closings. It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Twas the end of tax year reporting and all throught the corporate board rooms, not a creature was stirring except for the illegal aliens cleaning the trash.

All the Corporate Vice Presidents were snuggly in their beds hoping their big fat bonus checks would soon be there.

When all of a sudden a stir was heard, their corporate tax lawyer was heard at door.

The corporate V.P's rushed to see, the SEC getting bribed to ignore their insider trading.

They were hung by their off hour trading and secret deals, but they knew a simple layoff or two thousand would grease the wheels.

With a twinkle in their eye and a big fat check, it was corporate bonuses for all and for all a big check.

Free America

46. Giftsmas
You just reminded me, I have to go out and buy a couple of gifts. I need to make sure that I spend the same exact amount as the person giving me a present and I can't go a penny over because that's the law and it would also be considered cheating. :eyes: I also don't think that I will need to put a thought into the gift that I am giving because it's the thought that counts right even if the thought has been taken out of the equation. :grr:

My Sister will give me a gift a size extra small and I wear a size medium and she knows this. I will end up giving it to her or if it is the right size it will either be lime green or made out of wool and she knows that I am very allergic to wool and lime green. A friend of mine will send me flowers because it's the thought that counts and she has done that since we were kids. On my birthday and Christmas FTD arrives at my door and I know that it's a gift from Karen. I am not complaining but Christmas has lost it's true meaning.

God, I am beginning to hate Christmas!

43. hmm from what i can tell...no one really knows for sure
Early in the fourth century, the Roman church decreed that December 25 would henceforth be recognized as the birthday of Christ. The Eastern churches refused to accept Christmas until 375 C.E., and the churches in Jerusalem rejected the December 25 date until the seventh century.

48. I think it's called "The Happy Holiday"
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 04:29 PM by Zenlitened
And there's a rule of some sort -- I think it's referenced in something called "The Lib Rull Agenda" -- that if you call it anything else, crowds of blue people will gather around and disapprove of you until you feel very uncomfortable, to the point where you die.

Pretty scary stuff. Be careful out there.
