It’s ok. I love the Pacific Northwest, especially Seattle. A Starbucks and Tully’s every couple of blocks, tons of Salmon, the beautiful beacon that is the Space Needle. Sure, it rains, but that just adds to Seattles’, and Washington’s, beauty.
I like to ask the “happy holiday” types “which holiday are you wishing for? What do you believe in?” gets me nothing but crickets chirping and deer in the head lights looks.
I have so much fun doing that. LOL!
No wonder the suicide rate is so high up there
ROTFLOL
What a waste of words on the Dem side. I practically stopped read after the first sentance.
well last year i lived in cambridge mass, so at least i know what to expect...
I worked in Seattle one summer, from June to August, and I thought it was wonderful! I remember only two rain storms; the rest of the time it was mostly sunny.
I do recall one funny bumper sticker: "Seattle Rain Festival: September to June". :-)
I WANT TO TAKE CHRISTMAS BACK AND JUST LEAVE EM WITH HANUKAH, KWAANZA, AND THAT OTHER HOLIDAY THAT FLOATS AND GETS MIXED UP WITH WHATEVER HOLIDAY IS NEAR. none of them even begin to compare with the majesty or scope of Christmas and yet the very vocal minority and the retailers have stolen our holiday.
Merry Christmas to you too, my FRiend.
Good luck! Reading the comments to the article posted at the site should give you some idea of what you’ll soon be facing.
Merry CHRISTmas!
Those who celebrate Christmas will get the cookies. Those who deride those who are having a cheerful time should settle for the crumbs.
LOL! It sounds like you’ll enjoy the show. It really is a beautiful place to live. It doesn’t get extremely cold nor hot. No humidity, except for the rain. You’ll learn to walk between the rain drops after you live here a while. The Seattleites especially the ones around Greenlake, Fremont and Wallingford develop oily secretions that render them impervious to rainfall...and soap.
If you like to garden, you can do it all year long. We grow greens year round for the kitchen. We are also situated that within a couple of hour drives you can participate in ANY outdoor activity you choose.
All in all, it is a good place to be. Pssst...no income tax.
When they wish you “Happy Holidays” ask them “which one(s)”. And it’s always good to have a followup, if they say Hannukah or Kwanza etc let them know that one is over and the other is still weeks away.
Welcome to NSCC, where Thought Crime is is real and free speech isn’t.

Seattle is godless.....good luck though. Why do all large metropolitan cities reject God?
Yes, this is very silly. People who don’t like Christmas should move to some place where it isn’t celebrated, such as Afghanistan or San Francisco.
It took folks about 20 minutes to get the 6 blocks from the freeway exit to the parking garage, and another 15-20 minutes to get their car into a slot.
Some folks were angy...some distressed....others were understanding after my apology and a quick bit of advice on how to most quickly get inside to spend money.
But, by far the persons who had to most positive attitudes, and expressed and displayed the sort of joy we prefer this time of year, were those people who took all of this delay and distraction and came by me standing in the rain and said,
THANK YOU....MERRY CHRISTMAS.
They, without exception, were women who had joy on their faces and a Christmas spirit in their heart.
They don’t need to move away but they should not insist that everyone else shut up about what day or “season” it is.
