From Now On, I Shall Wish Everyone a Happy Wintereenmas
So yesterday I was out on errands, and we drove by the True Value store. And on their computerized Marquis where they list their sales and special items it read "Remember the Reason for the Season! Keep CHRIST in Christmas!'. With Christ in the big, bold letters.
Maybe I don't get it, but I don't see how shopping centers saying 'Happy Holidays' in any way invalidates what someone believes.
It really feels like too many people seem to be overlooking the very basic ideas of Christmas in favor of a need to feel oppressed. Which is just stupid.
I'm not a bitter person, but it's shit like this that would make me one if I was.

I've been known to wish people a Merry Mithrasmas. But Wintereenmas sounds fun.

fucking sign.
Actually, I took a call last Thursday from a woman bitching about the sign, and I snickered a little as I transferred the call to an owner. The rest of the evening, a co-worker and I were doing gay man lisps whilst saying, "Thanksssss for keeping the chrisssssst in chrisssssmasssssss."
Re: fucking sign.
*snerks* That's great.
