This week at the USDA food pickup, a volunteer asked “Would you prefer Happy Holidays or -
pause -
Happy Halloween?”
Of course we yelled “Happy Halloween” and the National Guard person grumbled “you’re getting more than I thought” which means we helped in the War on Christmas.
Bring back our Halloween!
The persecution narrative was also being stoked up in a pretty obvious way during the Bush years
I’ve been trying to think of another holiday to wish someone, something obscure, if they insist on making the Christmas greeting into a big deal (I have one family member…) just to needle them.
I discovered that December is national “Procrastination Awareness Month,” and have decided to get back to it later.
Another take on the topic:
My friend Crazy Eric and his pals had a different take on Xmas. He rescued a discarded metal tree from a rubbish tip, cleaned it up, and festooned it with little Hallowe’en skulls. He stole er I mean liberated a yellow highway flashing hazard light and placed it under the tree for that blinking festive glow. All gifts under the tree were edibles, drinkables, or smokables. The Xmas Day party was memorable, for those with remaining brain cells.
On the day after Xmas aka Boxing Day, he received his draft notice. Not wishing to die in Nam, he split for Canada. His friends then burnt down his rental cottage, which may have been a bit over-the-top, but certainly displayed their holiday spirit. Happy Daze, y’all.
