Christmas

TIS THE SEASON TO BE ........
Well it isn't to be jolly now is it? People can be so miserable these days that it is starting to bring me down, and that in itself is a feat. No, what I am really getting at is the same thing I have been bitching about for years, difference now is that I have a forum to bitch through.
Every Christmas it is the same thing, pollitically correct buffoons telling us that we need to include everyone in our holiday mish mash. It is no longer acceptable to tell everyone Merry Christmas, now it is Happy Holidays. Well to that I would just like to through in my bullshit card.
Now for those of you that don't know me I will tell you that I am a recovering Catholic, and a devout Athiest, so the Christmas season may not mean the same thing to you as it does to me, but that is a topic for another blog.
However I think that even though I don't believe that Christ was actually born on Dec. 25, doesn't mean I don't appreciate this time of year for all it has to give. We, as a society have lost the spirit of giving and love. I am not going to go off on the same rant people always do about the commercialism of Christmas, but about acceptance of the need for the season. We need to feel good about ourselves at least one time a year, and I think that the PC greeting of Happy Holidays is just as bad as the dumbing down of our society as a whole.
Last year I had the misfortune of working for wal-mart through the holiday season, and that is exactly what we were informed of, the fact the we could not greet our customers with Merry Christmas, it was to be Happy Holidays, or we could actually be repremanded. The premise was that we didn't want to offend anybody that wasn't celibrating Christmas. My response to that was as followed, FUCK THAT. Look most people are lucky that in this country they are not greeted by a punch to the face or a kick to the pills, so Merry Christmas is the least of our worries. Also if I greet someont with MC and they tell me that they don't celebrate Christmas, then they are the ones being rude and offensive, not me. If I am leaving a Target in N MPLS, and some black dude tells me Happy Kwanza, you know what I say, I tell him thank you, and a Happy Kwanza to you too.
It is called common courtsey, and we don't use it enough. "Hey Happy Kwanza" , "I'm not African, I don't celebrate Kwanza, Fuck you." Not very polite do you think, well that is exactly the message we put across when we are censored and have our freedom of speech taken away from us by modern society. Any place that tells me "Hey you cant say that" usually gets two things form me, first and foremost is the finger, and after that they are ranted to about the flagrant misuse of their authority, and told that they are the reason that this country is going down the shitter.
We have and need freedom of speech, people have fought and died for us to have that right, and just because you don't believe the same thing that everyone else does, doesn't give you the right to find fault with everyone else. Have your beliefs, I do, have your rights, I do, but is it that difficult to be polite and say thank you? You don't need to belch your misguided moronocys every time somebody says something you don't agree with. That is what the internet is for.
So I say to you my loyal readers, (both of you, thanks mom) grow a pair of balls and speak your mind, if you celebrate Christmas, Kwanza, or Chewbacca, let it fly, I will thank you and wish you the same. But if you are one of those perpetual jack offs that need to raise a stink every time some one with good intentions greets you, just do us all a favor. Eat a big bowl of SHUT THE FUCK UP, and go on with your pretentious lifestyle, or better yet, go stick your head in a small garbage bag and breathe deep. Either way, you will be leaving me the hell alone.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
