I better not dress up as Santa. I could get sent to Gitmo as an "illegal combatant" in the War on Non-Christmas.

I second that motion. I Christmas is to be extended, it should be extended FORWARD, not BACKWARD to bury Thanksgiving and rape Halloween.
That said, I like Christmas. I can understand the complaints; the over-importance on gift giving and commercialization, the extending to a third/quarter of the year, the forced, obligatory faux-joy. Christmas should be relegated to December only and there should be no social obligation to give gifts or be happy, etc. Other than that, It's my other favorite holiday next to Halloween. |

Love Christmas. Just finished all my shopping and I am going to kick major gift giving ass this year.
