The War on Christmas...

[Tekania]

'Christmas tree' - surely you mean Yule log? It's political correctness gone mad I tell you....

No, that's a different tradition; the Yule log was traditionally thrown on the fire... Normally you don't burn Christmas trees.

[Tekania]

yeah cobert has a strong religious streak. it obviously pisses him off when other christians ignore what jesus said to do.

But isn't ignoring what Jesus actually said what Christianity is all about?

Only if you're part of the Religious Right.

I'm guessing that you didn't grow up in a house with heavy-drinkers that smoke....

I did say "normally".... Similar to how "normally" light-bulbs not being used as anal stimulation devices, and yet they have been used by sorts for said purpose before.

I ... Well, I don't have Christmas carols going through my head anymore, anyway.

OMG, not the toilet goblin! I heard of a kid named Timmy in my neighborhood who got carried down the toilet by the toilet goblin late one night cause he didn't get out of the bathroom in time after he flushed!

Like this?

That's why you should NEVER look in the toilet after you're done especially late at night when the toilet goblin is asleep in the toilet and when you flush you wake it up!

And the barely employed who don't dare take even Christmas Eve off to be with their families. Why I know folks who even work on -- gasp! -- Christmas Day. And it's not even just out of spite.

yeah my sister (both sisters actually) just started a new job (thank god she found one after the motel she worked at got sold and they fired everyone) and is working on christmas eve and christmas day. we are going to have christmas dinner on the 26th since its her day off. my other sister is a nurse and works most holidays so that nurses with small children can have the day off.

Well that's fucked up, why do Nurses with children get Christmas day off? What make them so damn special beside the fact that they decided to reproduce?

[F1-Insanity]

Let me get this straight. Abrahamic monotheist religion has been doing some serious persecuting of others (including followers of other abrahamic monotheist religions or the 'wrong kind' of those who claim to follow the same abrahamic monotheist religion) in their 'war on unbelievers' which in a few denominations of monotheist abrahamic religion continues to this day.

And now, when somebody says 'happy holidays' instead 'merry christmeass', suddenly: OH NOEZ! WE IS BEING PERSECUTED!

And to think christmas trees are originally pagan symbols

[Kormanthor]

Ah, Christmas. A joyous time, when we can gather with the family, eat as much fat food as you like without worrying about calories (at least not until it's over) and of course: presents!

Yes, this time certainly does have a lot of traditions about it. From santa claus to multicolored lights and other age-old traditions that are a few decades old.
One tradition that has been picking up steam in the U.S. is known as the "War on Christmas". It is a veritable feast of media mud-slinging over petty differences when pundits and news channels of all stripes take their sides in a ritual conflict that historians believe is meant to be a praise to Eris, the Greek godess of strife, so that she may bless the media with many newsworthy and not-exactly-newsworthy talking points for the year to come.

So, do you partake in the War on Christmas?

Christmas is about the Birth of Jesus

I don't think I can explain how you are wrong without being condescending about your apparent naivety.

^With all these wars on Christmas, will society eventually become as screwed up as this comic is saying it will?

[Geniasis]

Well that's fucked up, why do Nurses with children get Christmas day off? What make them so damn special beside the fact that they decided to reproduce?

Presumably because these children are young, and so that they can spend the holiday together as a family.

Actually, it's not unusual at all in businesses for people with families of their own to get the day off, and for single and unattached people to get stuck with the shift.

Christmas is about the Birth of Jesus

Only to Christians. The season includes, but is not limited to, Kwanzaa, Hannukah, Diwali, Yule, the Winter Solstice ... I could go on. I just wish that you Christians would stop trying to appropriate it all for yourself, it belongs to the world and not just the Christian world.

[Teccor]

I'm an atheist. But I love Christmas! It's a lot of fun. If you don't like it, fine. If you want it stamped out, you can go fuck yourself.

Merry Christmas.

And a happy nondenominational and personal traditionally specific holiday to you too!

*hisses* Political Correctness is Verbal Fascism.

Merry Christmas! And remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

Please, the Christ Child was born somewhere in Spring to Fall. He was never born in the Winter months.

Please learn your Christmas History before coming off so ignorant.

Well, considering he wasn't even actually born on December 25th, we probably could. Meh, whatever. I like Christmas better than Yule. It has a better ring to it.

Obviously.

Kwanzaa is literally a Black Nationalist answer to the "white" winter holiday, Christmas. It's not even a religious day. It's a "lets celebrate our skin color" day invented in the '60s.

Christmas is just Yule, rebranded.

Christmas wasn't a holiday, either, until the Catholic Church decided it was.
