Time to report in on your battles in our WAR ON CHRISTMAS

Yours truly has deployed his Snowmen decorations that send a subliminal message that this time of year is about the return of the sun.
These troopers have been very successful over the years.

was easy but I decided I wanted a different username and I had to delete the account. Except that it didn't delete. Sorry to bother you with this - just explaining why still no photo. I'll deal with this later after work. :/

Of course, I am doing this to subvert the holiday spirit for everyone, especially fundamentalist Christians!

Bah humbug!

Oh, and when they want to reschedule after the new year, I am busy that night. Let the battle rage.

I tried to order some toys for my granddaughter on Amazon. After jumping through all the hoops--and there were many-- Amazon told me it would take up to 30 freakin' days to approve my credit account. Back to square one.

I'll decorate.

I had to pick up 4 things at the mega-mall ( I haven't been there in a year!) and of course everything was at the far end from each other, so I had to do a lot of walking. After being exposed to commercial Christmas music for 3 hours, plus the BUY! BUY! BUY!, I was ready to scream. Of course merchants want you to BUY! BUY! BUY! It's the fact that they make it seem that that's what Christmas is all about that's the real War on Christmas!

edit - actually, we were watching a movie and I misread someone's Santa hat as saying Ha Ha Ha, thinking they meant it that way, so that's sort of stuck for us, especially when we're fed up with the Xmas rush, lol.

Tree is up, though. We really love the holidays, but it's fun to tease.
