An Atheist is Offended
Jason weighs in on the war on Christmas, and is offended by anyone who calls a Christmas tree a “Holiday Tree.”
BUT. . . invariably when the “War on Christmas” debate popps up, people ask for my position, as an atheist, on it.
So here it is. I DIG CHRISTMAS, I mean, I really, really dig Christmas. I like the cheesy lights, I like the fun, family oriented movies (although we don’t have any this year *frown*), I like Christmas sweaters on chicks, I like getting Christmas cards, I like the idea of putting a dying tree inside my house, wrapping it in lights, and trying to keep it from spontaneously combusting for a month as it dries out.
I also like Hanukkah, and the concept of the “Hanukkah Bush”, I like the idea of Kwanza (although honestly I have no real idea what it’s all about), I like the idea of Christmas carollers freezing their butts off going door to door singing off key. I even like the rampant consumerism and insane traffic at malls and department stores. I dig the chaos of the season in general.
I also like the Christmas “spirit” that puts more smiles on peoples faces and the random acts of kindness from total strangers. I like the Christmas stories and their messages of peace, love and joy. I like mistletoe and eggnog.
Ok, so do you get it now??? I’m and atheist and I DIG CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
So what’s the point of this post? Ok, well here it is.
