I am such a grump at Christmas, i...I will say this. I am such a grump at Christmas, if I say anything nice at all, one had better be thankful. I don't question people telling me Merry Christmas. I take it at face value that they are either devout or cultural Christians. They really have no reason to question how other people observe this season. And there it is: A Season. <br /><br />It's winter here in the N. Hemisphere. So everyone has some kind of feast day to celebrate the passing of the longest night of the year and the return of the Sun. Because after that, the days start to get a tiny bit longer. By Groundhog day, the days are long enough that we notice, and get that spring time itch, wishing everything would green up so we can wear shorts and see flowers. By the Equinox the flowers are peeking up, spring beauties--Narciss, and redbuds. Christians don't get to claim those either exclusively. Days and nights predate their calenders by significant stretch of eons-- As do angiosperms. <br /><br />And if the Christmas warriors don't pull their heads out their behinds, there won't be a merry anything once the runaway cycle starts with global climate change.bpbproadrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204358689859044850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-58052425591519831422011-12-03T22:19:41.143-06:002011-12-03T22:19:41.143-06:00Ahh yes...it's the War on...overly sensitive C...Ahh yes...it's the War on...overly sensitive Christian types.

Somedays I just want to pat them on the head and hand them a straight jacket. Maybe I should paint a picture on my car window of all the little images associated with all the various holidays that take place during Dec. and then in big bold letters write Happy FUCKING Holidays! ;)Rholmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563042593918868331noreply@blogger.com
