In regards of stealing Christmas this year

[Anarcho-Socialist]

I'm wondering that instead of hiding it in a non-descript car garage, that we might draw up a rota and each get to take it home for a turn?

Any thoughts?

1. I'm not stealing anything. I believe in Santa Claus.

I will just say the same thing I always do when people accuse atheists of stealing Christmas......Christmas was stolen years ago by all the people who run to the malls, who expect expensive gifts and are disappointed if they don't get them, who think that buying gifts for friends and families is what it is all about, who sell the concept of Santa Claus to their kids. Sure, you go to church Saturday night so it doesn't get in the way of celebrating the gifts, but church isn't your focus no matter what you say. Gifts and a big dinner are what you have on your mind.

So don't blame me.

2. The tradition is that an awkward dog lets it slide down a glacier, IIRC.

Almost.

3. As a good atheist, I have no interest in interfering with anyone's Christmas.

Christmas serves to reinforce the beliefs I have, as someone just pointed out the intense commercialization. It's one of many reminders of why I'm no longer a Christian.

4. Christmas is the Guy Fieri of holidays.

There's nothing wrong with being the Guy Fieri of holidays, if that's what you're into, but if you can't dial it back a few notches I think I'll just pass.

5. I'm more worried about somebody taking my Festivus pole. Plus, I looking forward..

...to the "Airing of Grievances" and "Feats of Strength".

6. Like the Stanley Cup!

We'll each get a turn!



On another note, love the thread. Many lolz...

7. I have my concerns

The last guy that tried to steal it had a problem with an enlarged heart. (I think it was from hormones used in the roast beast he carved.)

In any event, it didn't turn out well.

8. I enjoy Xmas...

I get to give gifts, and get them in return. And ham- I love ham. Of course, Jesus probably didn't

9. I think we should look at ways of framing Pat Robertson for the theft

after all he is the one ratting us out.

Or perhaps we should put in a substitute - like Krampus

10. I have a very good

Pastafarian dog who loves to bury stuff in our backyard... lol

11. No fun waging war against it

if you stole it! and while we're on the subject, you meant x-mas, right?

Happy Holidays everyone!
