It's not even alliterative.

The day is coming, when much to their dismay and anguish many will hear the following words spoken at them... "Away from me, I never knew you"

Merry Christmas to All!

[Always Right]

You intolerant idiot. Don't you know the great mental stress non-Xians suffer when they here the word Xmas. Many of them require therapy just to get through the holiday season.

"That brings us to this Florida Lottery ticket. Luckily the word Christmas does not appear on the ticket. The street slang word jack means the following (1) nothing: He don’t know jack-S—t (2) stolen: My money got jacked (3) money: He’s getting some major jack. What is the target market for this particular lottery ticket? It's the black community. What does that say about the people at the Florida lottery?" Is this closet racism?

Who cares? Frankly, I prefer knowing who my enemies are. I do not want them vying for my shopping dollars by placating me with their meaningless and gratuitous use of the word, "Christmas" (or anything else having to do with the Lord Jesus Christ).

Let them show their true colors for a change. More information is a good thing.

We also need to ban the phrase "Good bye." According to the dictionary, this offensive phrase is a shortened form of "God be with ye." For our children's sake, we need to use a more inclusive term when saying farewell.

I'm scared to post this because some weirdo might read it and think what I'm saying is a good idea. You never know.

Likewise, I was listening to a commercial about the movie ELF. In the commercial it says that ELF teaches the "true meaning of Christmas"

Funny, I don't recall the birth of Christ in the trailers for the movie.

..... or did I just miss it?

"My head nearly exploded. "Happy Holidays" is bad enough, but now you can't even say CHRISTMAS in a song about CHRISTMAS!!!! "

Of course you can say Christmas. Nobody's stopping you from doing that. I'd guess whoever made the ad can NOT say it if he wishes, too.

Now, the best bet is simply not to patronize the advertiser. But you can say "Christmas" all you want.

It's okay to say Merry Christmas:

"Merry Christmas. Believe It. Say It. Wear it!"
