I'm afraid I don't find much exciting about "the holidays" these days. I dread them, in fact. Even moreso since the PC socialists have demanded the neutralization to just a day to celebrate spending money instead of the birth of Jesus, which is, after all, the whole reason we have a "holiday" in the first place. I used to love Christmas, although not the insanity of it. Now it's just another opportunity for the malignant left to trample our American traditions and profane the sacred. The whole thing just makes me sick.
"...celebrate spending money instead of the birth of Jesus, which is, after all, the whole reason we have a "holiday" in the first place..." That's true, but you don't have to buy into the PC socialists either. And the more people you remind about it, the better. Because we do forget. It upsets me that radio stations have already been playing Christmas music, way before Thanksgiving. And there's been Christmas stuff in the stores for a while now. All that commericalism really gets to me, too! I have told my kids for a number of years now, that I will give them about $200 and they can go out and buy their own stuff for Christmas. I used to buy so much crap and nobody used it anyway. LOL!
All the terrorist groups—Marxists as well as the Islamic extremists—need money to plan, organize and conduct terrorist attacks. would just love it if we really did give into our disapointment!
I think we need to stand firm...
Years ago in the 80's some people I knew had copies made up of the famous children wooden duck on wheels 
and sold them down Columbus Ave. so many yuppies bought them for reminiscences
What I am saying we should resurrect those fun things we knew during Christmas and make available again over the net!
Do you remember the Christmas trinkets the coat pins of blinking lights like a snonman, Rudolf nose, angles ete.
To me all these gagets and gismos were to bring smiles and lift our spirits to appreciate the Joys of life a gift from the Lord!
I loath all white lights I like all the cheerful colors it really have magic to see at this time of the year...the damn PC folks change it to all white light which was drab this times of the year...
We know it is not true day of the birth of our Lord, but the Lord spirit was always present to weld Goodwill towards all followman across the global...
To try do away with Christmas is to shut out the Love of God!
Again I say we must stand firm to pressforward with the Lord message of Goodwill to all of His Creation!
