Should we hammer Faux Snooze with a "Happy Festivus!"
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 01:47 PM by zulchzulu

HAPPY FESTIVUS EVERYONE!



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus

It is today, by the way.

The Festivus celebration includes three major components:

* The Festivus Pole: During Festivus, an unadorned aluminum pole is displayed, apparently in opposition to the commercialization of decorated Christmas trees, and because the holiday's creator, Frank Costanza, "finds tinsel distracting." Local customs have changed and you may be able to decorate your pole with non-threatening plain decorations.

* The Airing of Grievances: At the Festivus dinner, a participant tells friends and family all of the instances where they disappointed him or her that year.

* The Feats of Strength: The head of the family tests his or her strength against one participant of the head's choosing. Festivus is not considered over until the head of the family has been pinned. A participant is allowed to decline to attempt to pin the head of the family only if they have something better to do instead.

2. No-don't give the enemy ammo
Let them know Christmas is "peace on earth, good will toward men" This means:
-No needless wars
-respecting other peoples religious beliefs
-The Christmas story is about a very humble birth at the bottom of the hierarchy of power.

Let them know that forcing their religious beliefs down the throats of others, It is they who are taking Christ out of Christmas!
