Well bully for you. Just don't say it to me. Some countries actually still have a smidgen of their own culture left, that hasn't quite been completely poisoned with Americanisms yet. How is it bigoted to resent an alien culture taking over one's own, much better, one? I drove up a street the other night and was practically blinded because every house was lit up like a Jamaican whorehouse. Bloody blow-up Santas, reindeers, and fuck knows what else. Fucking stupid yank custom--tacky, tasteless, and criminally wasteful of resources.
I picture a bitter old person, (actually thought it was a female, but maybe not, if AS knows), that's absolutely PERFECT, at least in their mind, spitting venom at everyone that doesn't see things their way. Nah, it really doesn't matter as we ALL die in the end anyway.
Happy Death, to everyone! (<-this is for Veggie.)
Happy Holidays to all those not yet so utterly JADED! Those that enjoy the endorphins of laughter and big smiles, to help stave off all the bitterness of all the utter crap in the world!
Yeah I know I got a little too much bitterness in me too, huh? Hey! I'm working on it!
'Bitter' because I can't stand blow-up santas and your tacky 'culture'? At least I'm not a phony and I tell it like it is. Only an idiot says 'happy holidays' to people they don't know. How do you know they haven't just lost a loved one, or found out they are dying? It shows a complete lack of imagination and total self-absorption. You really don't give a crap what kind of holiday anyone else has. It's like the yukky 'have a nice day' (another meaningless and phony Americanism). I wouldn't mind responding with 'I will, once I've slapped you).
BTW, I've never in my life said 'merry christmas' as a greeting. I think the first time I've 'said' it is on here. When someone says it to me I usually say 'you too'. I can't actually bring myself to say it because it feels silly, and to be honest I don't know what it means, if anything. 'I hope you have a jolly old time at christmas'? 'Christmas is such a happy time, don't you agree?'? 'I hope christmas will be a pleasant day for you'? 'Christmas is fun'?....
(Is that jolly enough for you?)
Plus, 'christmas' has nothing to do with christianity anyway. It's a pagan festival, so the laugh is on all you PC twats who think saying 'merry christmas' is going to offend muslims, jews or any other group that isn't allowed to be 'offended' just because they aren't christians. 'Xmas' would be more appropriate when you think about it.
NO VEGGIE YOU JUST DON"T GET IT.
I do not say it to be PC, I do it so that in one phrase, I can wish everyone happiness at the same time.
God you're dense, I guess you do it this way: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Birthday, Happy New Year, Happy Chinese New Year, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy St. Patrick's day, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Easter, Happy Anniversary, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, ad-infinitum.
Now does your dumb ass get it? You should have seen me playing hell trying to spell 'honnica,' crap that alone took 20 minutes.
And I don't even know what Chanukah is, let alone how to spell it if AS had instead said it, I'd still be here typing characters to see if my spell check had a clue, because I sure the hell don't.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
(Except for Veggie with her/his/it's half-assed false preconceived notions (assumptions) that 'they' project on everyone but themselves. Because only god knows what they celebrate, but quite possibly the "shit on everyone" holiday, or at least Americans.)
