Trust me, I harbor no hate towards the people who every year scream that Christian’s are being suppressed and that “the establishment” is trying to kill Christmas. I just think it’s hilarious. Christmas is probably the biggest religious event celebrated across the world. But we are supposed to believe that some evil “they” are mindlessly working year after year to kill it off. Christmas starts mid October these days and lasts until mid January, every tv show, website and store makes a big deal of making it clear that they are part of the celebration, it’s not exactly dying. But if ever an, excuse the language, “old fart” hears anyone saying “happy holidays” they start going on a rant about how they’re being oppressed and how some nameless “they” are trying to kill Christmas. Typically these are the same old farts who get extremely offended if they say merry Christmas to someone Jewish who answers back “and a happy Hanukkah” because they feel like every religious should celebrate their narrow view of the world.
