Protests

Every year there are protests against Christmas displays. I suppose this has been going on since 1870 when Ulysses Grant signed into law some Federal holidays.

But this year is different. I have actually seen signs of push back against protests, like recently in Athens, Texas. Also, I have heard more people saying, "Merry Christmas" than I remember in a long time.

I would like to suggest to protesters that if you don’t like Christmas, then don’t participate. Don’t give or receive any presents. Don’t take off from work. Most employers can arrange for you to work. Of course, you get the same pay as you would if you take off and sit around watching football all day. Don’t eat all those Christmas goodies - like pecan pies. Mmmm.

Get your own holiday. March up to Congress and demand that you want a "non-holiday" holiday. Holiday means "Holy" day.

If you are successful and your holiday doesn’t really impose anything but good stuff on me, I’ll not complain about it.

Again, Ron White is right - "You just can’t fix stupid."
