Starts off early this year with a dirty sneak attack from Jason Kelce.

Not a direct assault on celebrated tradition, but rather an attack on good taste.  This song is very bad and I think both sides of this war agree.

What about Christmas's war on Thanksgiving?  Wait your turn! Turkey day deserves it's time to shine.

The Cowboys Giants game will be the ultimate assault on Thanksgiving. 

Pisses me off we jump holidays. Went up to my dad's in north Dallas on the day after Halloween and there were Christmas lights up everywhere. FUCK THAT.

Those might have been Diwali lights. Is there a big Indian population around there?

No, and no. These were a full ass assault on Thanksgiving.

If you put up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving you should have to forfeit the day and go to work.

I say Merry Christmas. It’s just what I believe. If I see anyone like that assclown or people force feeding me “Happy Holidays”, I’m instantly turned off. Happy Holidays was the original use of pronouns, and I find it off-putting and avoid people that use it only to bask in their righteousness. But the guy above is just as bad. 

Some of us socialize with those whose faiths differ from ours.  I'm Episcopalian. However, half of my family is Jewish, as are several of my close friends and colleagues.  Imposing "Merry Christmas" on someone who I know to be of another faith is not being evangelical.  It is being rude and insensitive, and it reflects a view their faith is not worthy of recognition.

But that's just me.

I just say Happy Holidays. It covers everything. I'm not too worried about offending people one way or the other but it gets me through the rest of the year.

I just say "fuck off, I hate you, I love only myself"  Seems to capture the American holiday spirit the best, I think.  Plus, it helps cut off the annoying chitchat from the barista.  And isn't THAT what the season is all about, really?

Not true.  We've all seen the nudes you post.

I usually just say Bah Humbug because Christmas sucks and I hate it.  The decorations suck.  The music sucks.  It’s an over commercialized bag of shit perpetuated by greedy corporations.  Even the fucking eggnog sucks.  Fuck the pressure to give presents and pretend to be happy about the shit someone gives you.  At least I don’t have to spend all night Christmas Eve putting shit together now.

Got the first card in the mail yesterday.  "Merry Holidays!" 

What the fuck is that?  I don't get bend by either Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, but Merry Holidays is fucking stoopid.

That's actually not terrible.  Why fuck with the alliteration of Happy Holidays, though?  

I say Merry New Year most of the time with a lame African accent, but most of my conversation is littered with obscure movie references.

Not really. IDGAF about some idiot aggy trying to sell me cut rate insurance. It impacts me zero.

How does someone force feed Happy Holidays?

I dunno.  I think there's a dead-even tie in the level of pathetic assholery between 1) people who get annoyed/feel "force fed" when someone says "happy holidays," and 2) people who get bent out of shape when someone says the more exclusive "merry Christmas" instead of the general "happy holidays."

When I call your office or pick up my coffee, if you say happy holidays or merry Christmas, both are pleasant and fine, and IDGAF.  I'm not offended by either choice.  Not even the littlest bit.  It's all a social artifice anyway.  You might as well be a barista in Chicago asking me "how bout them Bears?"  It's just social space-filler.

Well, now you've just got me humming Jose Feliciano, so that's alright.  I also regularly wish people "feliz merry holidays," just to mix shit up.

I like it, but will saying it around certain political groups get me deported?

37 minutes ago, Rex Kramer said:

I don’t either. It irritates me enough to comment on a message board. If I had business with the guy or another that force fed me Happy Holidays, I’d move the business away in both instances. But I’m not seeking out confrontations with these people. 

Happy Holidays!

Fuck Merry Christmas.

Happy Saturnalia or GTFO.

And I don’t just say it. I live it.

As a self appointed Lord of Misrule, after I wish you a happy Saturnalia I immediately roll into a litany of embarrassing insults. 

Then I whip out my dick and chase the lucky individual around until I get tired or I get the itch to gamble.

Because most people are good sports I usually give them a small gift as any good worshipper of Saturn does this time of year.

Is it Happy December to Remember or Merry December to Remember?

“Jesus is the reason for the season” is funny to me. While He is the reason for the holiday, the season is about the return of the sun.

There are gradients of what is language police ridiculous and what is not, using xer,xiv,xav pronouns was 100% on one scale but Happy Holidays was like 5%. This percentage being the people you piss off by enforcing it.

I have used Happy Holidays to get a a gauge reactions on people, but at the end it moves no needles.
