billvon 2,396 #1 December 20, 2018 It's pretty late in the season for this, but FOX News has finally found something to sow the Christmas outrage. Tucker Carlson foxsplains: ============= Well, the War on Christmas is not real. They tell you all the time, it’s totally fake. And if you believe in it you're dumb. You watch Fox News or something. But it's also, of course, going on and it's being fought very fiercely here in America. But not just in America. The War on Christmas is a global struggle. In the parliament of Scotland—they have a national parliament—the coffee shop has stopped selling gingerbread men. Why? Gender-specific. They're now called gingerbread people. ============= Did you hear that? Gingerbread PEOPLE! In Scotland! It's like they don't even believe in Christ. So, all you Carlson followers, take your blood pressure medication and join Tucker in a toast to this season's Christmas angst! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you are so far to the right that Tucker Carlson and Fox News are 'progressive liberals'. Why am I not surprised at this? On a more serious note, someone was asking for skydiving themed Christmas cookies. The suggestion was made to cut out gingerbread people and put them in 4 way formations.

normiss 622 #8 December 20, 2018 Interesting how some people get so wound up trying to celebrate a bastard child's birthday. Merry Christmas! I love Christmas, always have. Family fun and spoiling my girl. I'm making sweet and spicy cedar planked salmon on the grill, in it's natural shape - for the big family get together. For my kid's visit, it's taco bar! For the friends and neighbors cocktail party, smoked turkey and pulled pork sliders and a keg of Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Eat, drink, be merry. Loosen up those panties a bit folks.

airdvr 197 #11 December 20, 2018 Agree with most of what's been said here. Christmas is a commercial activity designed to make people spend money. I believe there might be a police action on heterosexuality. The dust up over Baby It's Cold Outside is but one example. Seems if you have a penis and like to have sex with women...

yoink 321 #12 December 20, 2018 normiss Eat, drink, be merry. Loosen up those panties a bit folks. Can't. The in-laws will be here. Three days of being told precisely what we're doing wrong as parents by a couple who hired nannies to look after their own kids... I might go on a rampage. Still, I have a very nice bottle of port in the garage and am going to pick up a huge rib of beef tomorrow which I'll do on the barbie. That'll keep me amused for a couple of hours.

I have a small arsenal of beer ready to go.

normiss 622 #16 December 20, 2018 NOMS Love me some I&G. Sometimes at Total Wine, usually at World Market, always at a couple of independents and bars here. I'd also like to find some Full Sail Wassail and Session Fest - they've always been Christmas beers to me. I should find a few new and better ones this year.

DJL 232 #17 December 21, 2018 SkyDekkerWhat is one of the most popular Christmas songs you ask? Happy Holidays by Bing Crosby. Such an incredible "war on christmas" politically correct song must be pretty new right? Uh.....well.....it was written in 1942. War on Christmas......lol....bunch of idiots. Ever since I was kid we called it "the holidays" meaning the entire span from Thanksgiving through New Years encompassing Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Hanukkah. This practice was shared by people I knew to be Christians and it wasn't meant as a secular slight towards Jesus, it was just descriptive language. Getting mad about not calling it "Christmas" is fairly petty. Since it's Friday I'm signing off most of my conversations with clients and vendors as "Ok, have a good holiday break" or "Happy Holidays" because we won't talk again until after the new year. It did cross my mind momentarily to wonder if anyone would think I was only saying that because it's the politically correct thing to do."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
