WHITE CHRISTMAS, AS RE-WRITTEN BY A POST MODERN PC SCROOGE

"WHITE HOLIDAY"

I'm dreaming of a white holiday
With every hol-i-day card I write.
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white holiday
With every holiday card I write
May your days be merry and bright--
And may all your hol-i-days be white.

Seems we're at the breaking apart stage of our society where you can't even mention Christmas in public any more.  Everything is a 'holiday.'  Holiday cards, holiday trees, holiday greetings, holiday turkeys....and the ultra-radical "winter holiday" celebrated by the government ("public") schools.

I admit it's gotten better in the last 5 years.  It got really crazy about 5 years ago with department stores trying to sell "holiday trees" and "holiday greeting cards."  Store greeters were instructed to avoid the traditional "Merry Christmas" in favor of the bland and stupid "happy holiday."

My reply was always, "Which holiday are you referring to?"
 Then, I'd give a good hearty "Merry Christmas!" loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.  December 25 on my calendar still reads "Christmas" and it is a federal holiday (though we don't know for how much longer if the radicals have their way).

So when someone wishes you a "white holiday," remember that most holidays are not going to be white.  I've never seen a white Fourth of July where I live!  

Thankfully, I'm seeing more traditional Christmas cards in stores than I saw a few years ago.  Many department stores now have "Christmas sales."  Even if you detest the ultra-commericalization of the season, it's better than "Winter sales" or "white holiday sales."  

So from all of us here at the Center for Useless Social Statistics (CUSS) - MERRY CHRISTMAS!
