Summer is coming to an end I hope you slackers are ready for a new season of the War on Christmas

I hope each and every one of you took your training serious because I expect this season to be bigger better and stronger as we battle those nitwits at Faux News and show them our just battle against the War on Christmas.

Check in here and tell us how you kept up your summer training to stay fit for this never ending battle

Went down to the local school board and put in a request to borrow one of their rocket launchers to shoot Santa out of the sky.

into the North Pole water supply. The effects should start becoming apparent @ Halloween. It's a two-fer for Halloween and Christmas - may even affect New Years for some newly tall dudes.

Yep, that's right

I recruited an army of silver-backed gorillas and trained them to hurl their own gorilla feces at Christmas light displays

I up their fiber intake right after thanksgiving and they're good to go (heh heh) two weeks later

I will not enter any store except for food or meds. Gifting will be by giving to, say the food pantry or if I read a wish list from seniors who desire hand towels,wash cloths etc I will raid my linen closet and select my best which never gets used and "share" with them. For others I will make greeting cards and hand them out by the box.
There is no reason to encourage the madness that seems to start earlier every year. By the 4th we already see plastic pumpkins and before old Tom Turkey can ruffle his feathers the fake trees are pushing him out of the way.
There is no such thing as ONE gift either. It's time to outspend each other. You can't show love with only one gift and the bigger the better. Go in debt till April is the battle cry. The kids may break their toys the day after Ch
ristmas but you have the joy of paying them off long into next year!!
The usual Ho Ho Ho is replaced by Har Har Har as the store owners(especially those box stores) spend their day counting their profits and push the customers into over spending.

And, I'm going to keep reminding people of the true meaning of Christmas: The death and re-birth of the Son of the Goddess as shown in the sky at the Solstice.

Let's put religion back into the holiday!
Enough of this crass commercialism!!!

If you're destroying Christmas, here's your yard decoration
My store has acrylic polar bears and various kinds of reindeer for outdoor display.

Get one reindeer and about six polar bears.

Lay the reindeer on its side. Then put the polar bears in a ring around the reindeer.

Because it's not every day that ziggurat humor happens.

I trained to wrap all gifts in tasteful, greyscale, geometric paper.

Baby Mithras, Magi, Shepherds and Devas, No Mary or Joseph, Mithras is lying on a rock.

And then there's Jeff who took a Santa, painted his clothes green and black, put a patch on one eye and gave him a spear, Odin Claus!
