What's all this talk about a "holiday" ?

[Wiregrass Willie]

I've been watching cable news this morning and they are all talking about Black Friday sales and shopping in general. What I can't understand is their constant reference to "holiday shopping". What holiday ? We just had the Thanksgiving Holiday. Surely they can't mean that. Did they mean Ramadan ? Or Hanukkah ? Or Guy Fawkes Day ? Or Bastille Day ? Apparently not. Nobody shops enough for those days to amount to anything.

Could they possibly be alluding to the most important holiday in the Western World ? Then why don't they just say CHRISTMAS !

It's odd that these Corporate atheists resent mentioning the day that profits them the most. I wonder if -- when they close the shop at night -- all of their family gathers around the cash register and lustily sings -- "What a friend we have in Jesus" !
