Christmas is bad enough without having it become an annual war waged by Fox News, too
Shortening days. Lengthening night. The promise of bitter cold. The schmaltzy songs. The hideous houses. The forced cheer. The rote rituals. The brutal attack on the paycheck.

Thanks, Fox, for giving me yet one more reason to hate the season even more than I already do. What a class act you assholes are. You make chintz out of everything you touch.

1. I haven't noticed as much war on Christmas this year as in past years.
But, then again I'm not watching any "news" shows.

LOL!

2. Everything's a war with Fox.
Their whole reason to be is to keep their watchers worked into a frenzy about one issue or another.

3. Actually, on Christmas Day, the daylight hours in most of the US
will have increased by about four minutes. That's the point of celebrations around the Winter Solstice. The days begin lengthening (in the Northern Hemisphere) and Spring is on its way.

Good reason to celebrate. So be merry, enjoy family and friends. Winter is coming to an end.

4. I think since Bildo dropped his radio show it's not as bad..
That was his launching pad for all his insane rants to get fundie listeners in a bunch...

5. Nothing is as bad as Faux News.
OK, time for some Winter Solstice carols!
