'Festivus' Gains Standing Across Country

WLTX-TV NEWS ^ | 12-21-2005

There are only two kinds of people in the world:

(1) Seinfeld fans

(2) People who didn't think Seinfeld was funny at all

I'm in the third group. Saw a couple of episodes, and was indifferent. Mildly amusing, but nothing to rearrange my schedule to see.

[hummingbird]

Good choice. What if you were just one day off? Heh, heh....

[hummingbird]

Its airing of grievances followed by feats of strength.

There is a website with suggested Festivus Cards...very funny...well, very funny to me anyway!

[hummingbird]

Since it is December 21 today: HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE TO YOU ALL!

Hope it was a good one!

Actually, I'm intrigued by the rest of your post. Food for thought. Think I will write a short story or poem or something.

Thanks and Happy Festivus Eve!

[hummingbird]

Cool. It's gonna be slow here at work today, so let's go.

"Oh yeah, baby, its on!"

[hummingbird]

Heh, heh, heh....that would be one Festivus to remember!

Hmmm, you think that was a comment meant to troll? LOL

I'm not sure but I did feel that a "Rut roh..." was in order. LOL!

[Casloy]

One of the funniest Seinfeld episodes ever, but some people just take things too far.

[hummingbird]

Being I am from the South, what is this "Pepsi" you speak of?

Southerner, here, too. I thought all soft drinks were called Coke, so "Pepsi" is just a vague, wispy....something. LOL!

[sasafras]

"Pathetic. Living one's life by a syndicated sitcom."

What do you call Kwanza? Kwanza was created by a black racist and is officially recognized by the US govt?

[Protagoras]

Your initial reaction was correct. I have a picture of the poster.

[wideawake]

What do you call Kwanza?

I call Kwanzaa a scam designed to separate black people from their hard-earned money.

"Christmas is a religious celebration. If you don't believe, you are just pretending. An observer. And that includes all the "secular Christians"."


Of course it is, but to those who aren't religious they need not exclude themselves. People are free to celebrete Christmas however religiously or secularly they please.

[Protagoras]

People are free to celebrete Christmas however religiously or secularly they please.

I never claimed anything differently.

If you want to "celebrate" the Passover as trick or treat day, you can. But it still won't be Halloween. And you will just be deluding yourself. No problem for me.

[Cagey]

My husband proposed on Festivus.

Did you happen to have a ?

[Bella_Bru]

I said:

For him, Jesus is the messiah.

To which you responded:

Hmmm, now there is a "you don't get to decide" issue. What he thinks is irrelevant. Either Christ is the messiah, or he isn't. Belief of anyone or even everyone make no difference at all.

So.....saying one believes Jesus is the messiah isn't a Christian? I'll let him know you said so. I'm sure he'll repond quite apologetically.

SCG, did you know that Protagoras doesn't think you are a Christian?

[StoneColdGOP]

Well, good for him he can think whatever he likes of me, as I can of him.

Only God's judgment matters to me, not some armchair evangelist making pronouncements about faith.

[SoftballMominVA]

no frills, just an opportunity to bring together friends and family.

And bitch and gripe at them??? Why in the world would I choose to celebrate this type of holiday? I get enough people bitching at me on a day to day basis. These wackos want to set aside a day to gripe? Nope, count me out

[Cagey]

I get enough people bitching at me on a day to day basis.

Consider yourself blessed. For you, every day is Festivus.
