Have you noticed that each year we hear more and more on TV, on Radio and in the Movies about how difficult it is to get together with Family Members during the Holidays? I don’t know what they (whoever “they” are) are talking about.
If they are not simply trying to be funny, I feel sorry for them (“them” is “they”) if they really feel this way about their own Families.
I also regret that this trend got started in the first place. It is going to be hard to keep the children of the future from being influenced, since they will be exposed to this attack on the family every year as they grow up.
There you go again thinking I am overreacting about ongoing and growing movements. Allow me to make my point by illustrating what is ongoing and growing about the annual Attack on Christmas...
- For years now we have been witness to attacks on anything having to do with Christmas including…Manger Scenes and saying “Merry Christmas”.
- They started off with saying such things as these happenings offended them.
- Then they moved on to they felt threatened by these Christmassy Things.
- “Threatened?” These mental midgets need to experience a bad guy pulling a gun on them outside Wal-Mart and demanding their money. That’s what “threatened” means.
The first time it all happened we thought, “What are they talking about?”
Now we have slid right past surprise and confusion and we are analyzing why they are so uncomfortable, having panel discussions about the merits of their arguments and (you guessed it) disassembling Manger Scenes.
If I did not fully understand that we are losing this battle, a recent Talking Head’s Comments demonstrated to me how full our retreat is. The unnamed person is well respected, well known and the folks back home pay attention when she speaks. The Smartfella paid attention with his mouth wide open when she spoke these words...
The problem with the Holiday Season is there is too much religion in it. If we could only get this religious influence out of it, we would enjoy the Holidays much more.
Oh well, that’s progress...Or is it?
Would I kid u?

They problem is that too many of our Talking Heads are actually Empty Heads.....
Well, here in the middle of the Holiday season I find that one is a religious holiday known to my culture as Christmas and I extend the invitation of a "Merry Christmas". Not to offend. Those who chose to be offended are choosing it is their choice. They could chose to ignore it, so they have choices A, B and C. But NOOOOOOO they want to squash my right to free speech and eliminate Christmas all together..spoiled sports!
