insubordinate ramblings to a paper bag

drove past city hall tonight and the damn thing was lit up like…well a christmas tree. literally. little white lights spelled out “peace on earth” and all of the faux pillars were wrapped up with red lights and there was a big xmas tree at the very top all decorated to shit. it was truly gaudy and very fitting with vibe of this town…all show and no go. as i gained some distance between myself and the aforementioned “tragedy of the season” i was reminded of the whole politically correct christmas debate.

you know the one…

use “happy holidays” instead of “merry christmas”
don’t call it “christmas break” use the term “winter break”
blah blah blah

is all that really necessary? should we care that while 75% of the country calls themselves “christian” at least 25% do not?

yes. we absolutely should. we most definitely should. reverse the roles. make ramadan the nation’s predominant holiday. imagine “merry freakin’ ramadan” plastered all over the office or at the supermarket. imagine your kids’ school program being all about how great ramadan is and how a month of fasting rawks, all while listening to ramadan carols. get my drift? jesus won’t mind if you only celebrate his birth in your home or in your church. but let’s leave it there, shall we? afterall, you shouldn’t have to look to government to help you find the meaning of your holiday. word?
