Has anyone else started attacking Christmas yet?
I know it's getting to be the time but I'm too busy defending Halloween.

3. Nope.
Two of my kids have birthdays this month and then there's Halloween and then there's Thanksgiving. Give me time and then watch out.

Of course, I'll attack it with gingerbread in one hand and an oven mitt in the other...but my attacks will be virulent and vengeful.

4. Don't let this get out but...
I have amassed my troops along the River Styx preparing for our assault on Christmas. We plan to attack Nov 24th (after the Longhorns game). They won't know what hit 'em.

Sincerely,

General Jesus dela Garza Jimenez Santa Anna Hernandez Jr. III

5. I always wait until Black Friday
i.e. the day after Thanksgiving.

Upon which time I go to various Mal-Warts and Toyses R a Must to point and laugh at people.

11. Don't go to Mall-Wart and Toy-r-Us and laugh, do this instead:
Get there before the store opens, when the teeming masses are waiting to burst forth in a frenzy of consumerism, and state the following (loudly) :

"What do mean they only have 15 (insert one or more of the following):

Blue Man Group Percussion Tubes
Designer’s World™
Dora’s Talking Cash Register™
ESPN® Fast Action Football™
Kid-Tough™ Digital Camera
Laugh & Learn™ Baby Grand Piano
Mindstorms® NXT
My Scene™ My Bling Bling™ Styling Head
Pink Nitro Notebook™
Power Rangers Deluxe Manticore Megazord
Speed Stacks® StackPack®
Sound City Railway
Tap Dancing Mumble
“T.M.X.” ™
Wii™

Then sit back, get out the digital camera, and wait for the fireworks.

6. Don't spread it around...
but I paid off an elf for the plans to Santa's toy shop. We're going in through the stables after "Agent Pongo" spikes Rudolph's drinking water with bourbon.

12. So easy to bribe those elves, isn't it?
If Santa would let them unionize and join with the Snowglobe Makers Local 155, this would not be an issue.

36. I figure a tofurkey roast is a pretty good cannonball.
For food, I'd rather have a lentil loaf and some mushroom gravy.

10. Of course. None of my holiday cards use the word--
Christmas. Try to be inclusive; end up pissing off the fundies! :evilgrin:

I can't wait to send them.

15. Yes. My holiday cards are filled out and addressed already.
Edited on Tue Oct-17-06 09:46 AM by janesez
Just waiting for the holiday stamps to come out so I can stamp them, then all I'll need to do is drop them in the mailbox on December 15th.

As far as shopping, I've gotten a few things for a few key people, but the bulk of it, I will leave for November/December, because I actually really love Christmas shopping with the crowds. :) I know, I'm sick.

16. I was going to make a post complaining because I heard my first
Christmas ad this morning. I was ready to fire the first shot, as it were. But if y'all are waiting till after Halloween, I don't want to start something and have no backup. I've postponed the attack till November 1.

20. I started attacking Christmas in January.
Every time I get paid, I put $40 in an ING account. That way, I can attack my Christmas bills and not worry about having to spend 6 months paying off my credit cards.

24. I've got my minions lined up all over the malls of America.
They are hiding in the midst of all the Christmas scenes, as "one of them". I've helped staff the elves, Santa, Mrs. Claus, even some rogue reindeer. Our faction is focused on the midwest; especially rural malls. Nothing but drunken santas and thieving elves.

That's when the Christmas-attacking season starts.

30. My local Costco has had their Xmas stuff up for two months now!
I get pissed when I walk in there and see that stuff. And it sucks to hear "White Christmas" on the hottest day of the year. Give me a break! :argh:

32. I thought it was a war on Christmas...
Suppose we should coordinate our actions?

I might not be able to help...I'm too busy hugging trees and writing welfare checks.

38. The question is, have I ever STOPPED attacking Christmas
I'm one of them evil atheist types, so I have to fill my god shaped hole with loathing and hatred. Usually I focus my anti-religious, anti-god hate towards the ancient Japanese religion of Shinto, but I find time to attack Christmas too.

...Christmas Day itself, when I hold a black mass in my front yard, and invite all the local gradeschool kids to come dressed as their favorite demon.

40. Not yet
I'll have to come up with something really evil though. Maybe I'll put the characters in any Nativity scenes I see in compromising positions. Maybe even some faux blood on the baby Jesus's?
