The War on Christmas Might Be the Biggest Joke Ever

This is a really old clip of a guy that I really enjoy watching. But it demonstrates just how ludicrous the right's fever-dream War on Christmas is. Absolutely brutal takedown and freaking hilarious.

Christmas didn't even exist as a thing until the Puritans banned the pagan celebration of the solstice in the 1600's. Then they surrendered and hijacked the drunken debauchery, making it a po-faced dirge of love & peace.

The only people who ever banned 'Christmas' were Christians. The religious right nowadays leave out the 'love & peace' bit and have turned it to a celebration of commercialism and excess. Try forcing love and peace on them now, see how angry they get.

There's no war on a Christian perspective of Christmas in the United States. It still prevails, second only to the secular Santa Claus perspective on it.

That said, I don't think Christians should be digging a protective trench around "Merry" in Merry Christmas. "Merry" isn't anything close to my understanding of what a Christian's perspective on the birth of Christ should be. "Merry" at Christmas gives me the image of drunken stupors.

How about 'Happy Christmas and a merry new year'.

It makes more sense but doesn't have the same ring.
