How will we fund this years installment of the war on Christmas?

A tax increase or spending cut?

Snow boarding is allowed in this war.
It saves American Elves.

The Salvation Army stores are already getting cleaned out because nobody can afford much else.

Where did that one come from?

Poverty!

Thanks, Obama!

Many charities seeing decline in donations | 13abc.com

It's not even Halloween and people are already signing up for the Salvation Army's Christmas program.

Not poverty.

Need has remained steady over the past couple years. However, donations have dropped by about $200,000 this past year.

Maybe we could get the working class in China to help out with some donations to the former workers in America?

i celebrate the winters solstice....i dont see pagans destroying christmas..unless we are the ones putting christmas goods out before halloween...seems there is nothing to christmas anymore but spending and buying....perhaps you should consider the solstice...we have a feast...and give our love....small gifts...perhaps but nothing amounting to hunderds of dollars in spending...

Festivus for the Rest of Us!

I think I might just give everybody a small bag of corn. You can eat it or plant it or feed it to the squirrels. Whatever would make you the happiest. Now, how about some of those Winter Soltice Celebration Cookies!

Nosmo predicts:

the week before Thanksgiving, we will start to hear blow-back against some stupid white washing of Christmas. Most likely from one of the dreaded Blue States. Some Scrooge in administrative clothing will declare a parade Winter/Holiday/Sparkle Season something rather than "Christmas". Then, game on.

Some House freshman won't be able to stay out of the fray and say something equally stupid.

We'll ride a wave of Christmas War right up til Christmas Eve. Then, miracle of miracles, everyone will keep Christmas in their own way. With family and friends, or desperately alone.

But Christmas will endure.

 

[Nosmo King]

Either that, or Bush will donate the profits from his book to some Tea Party organization to make Christmas a National Day of prayer, bowling and skeet shooting.

Drinking clear likker and shooting guns where I grew up.
You just have to know how to party.

Looks like the NYT is helping to promote the war. No surprise there.

Just in time for the holiday season, Americans are about to be hit with a spate of advertisements promoting the joy and wisdom of atheism.

Four separate and competing national organizations representing various streams of atheists, humanists and freethinkers will soon be spreading their gospel through advertisements on billboards, buses and trains, and in newspapers and magazines.

On the confrontational end of the spectrum, American Atheists, which was founded in 1963 by Madalyn Murray O’Hair, will just before Thanksgiving put a billboard on the busy approach to the Lincoln Tunnel from New Jersey heading into New York.

It features a Nativity scene, and the words: “You Know it’s a Myth. This Season Celebrate Reason.”
