Holiday Season Makes People Nuts

I have whitnessed a man fighting back in the War On Christmas and I am disturbed. I went with David to Target today to pick up cleaning supplies (we ran out of floor cleaner due to David's wonderful obsession with keeping the wood floors shining). While we were in the store, we heard a father talking to his son about Christmas and how Target was an abomination because it used "holiday" in its marketing instead of "Christmas." He said, "It's total bullshit, if there was no Christmas there'd be no holidays and no one would be shopping." This man seems to forget that the majority of the world is non-Christian, and that he lives in an area with a significant number of Jewish people who will celebrate Hanukkah during these holidays. His poor son was totally embarrassed because people were staring at this man making his insane proclamations that he no doubt learned from listening to too much Bill O'Reilly. And nevermind that he was IN the Target buying things with his hard-earned cash-- supporting the devil, I say! When "happy holidays" becomes an offensive phrase, we're in trouble. Let's all take a minute to once again morn the death of sanity in this ridiculous country of ours.

And everyone seems to forget that if it weren't for the pagans , who celebrate the winter solstice this time of year, we wouldn't be giving gifts at all, and Christmas might be held at a completely different time. I am so glad I don't have television so I don't have to hear excessive banter about the "war on Christmas." Did everyone forget that the entire world is NOT CHRISTIAN. Speaking as a heathen, I have to say I've always found it offensive when WASPy people feel victimized because their God is not being adequately recognized. PLEASE! How about considering the privilege one gets by being a white, anglo-saxon, protestant. I try to be aware of my own priviledge and recognize that many others aren't born with the automatic advantages with which I was born.
