Moron the fake president says we need to start saying Merry Christmas "again"

...like anyone in this country could be unaware of the "christmas" season! I stopped saying merry xmas years ago out of respect for those who are not christians. You can bet those words will never cross my lips again after this pronouncement from Moron! Ugh.

Personally, my family and I celebrate "Festivus", if anything!

Fooling fundies is like hypnotizing chickens.
Apparently they'll believe any old bullshit.

I never really paid much mind to what i say.

Now i will - no more 'merry christmas.' Happy holidays or maybe even a happy Saturnalia or happy Yule.

I have come to find out many cultures celebrate it.

So yeah - Winter Solstice, longest night - just no more 'Merry Christmas'

I use it in that context, when life dishes up something rather nasty.

Roof spring a leak? Oh, Merry Christmas!

Like acknowledgment of a cruel joke, which is what it is, a la no savior, etc.

My sister was beaten by two mall cops and then arrested last December for slipping up and saying "Merry Christmas." Now, because of the courage and uber-Christianity of our Dear Leader, that won't happen again.
