Damn it! I missed the beginning of the war on Christmas!
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Law Center, commented, “This blatant anti-Christian policy is yet another example of the total and militant hostility that many public schools have towards Christians and Christmas.”

13. I started my personal war years ago...
Edited on Wed Sep-23-09 07:16 PM by stuball111
don't buy gifts,(except for my Cat) I have an 8 inch battery operated Christmas tree,(don't kill trees for one day of celebration) and put lights up in my VW bus with a sign that says "Humbug" in the window. I do however, open my Bible on Christmas eve, and read the part where it talks about the real meaning of Christmas, not how much money you need to spend at the mall.

I'm also thinking about buying a whole bunch of neat toys and stuff I always wanted to play with at Wal-Mart open them up, play with them all day, then take em all back for a refund, saying that Christmas was canceled at my house!

11. Have you started celebrating already? you don't start until when?
I am not sure that is a complete thought.

15. The rest of the sentence is in the message body.
Thus, the improper use of ellipsis.

12. You mean they ....
started without us? That is downright hostile. I was waiting for the war on Christmas. I was looking at the stuffed Santa that I had hung from a cheerful yellow noose only the other day. I have to tell you, getting the knot on that noose just right was a bitch.

Maybe this year I'll hang Frosty.
