Yay Jewish Christmas stuff.... |
With Christmas only week’s away it seems only fitting to address the issues that arise while preparing ones self for the most widely celebrated Holiday in the world. The newest tradition for Christmas (in America at least, don’t know if other countries deal with things of this nature) is now the annual Politically Correct fueled fight over how to non-offensively celebrate your holiday. Every year some town is in an uproar because some overly sensitive d-bag (atheist, Christian Jewish alike) fights over how the town hall or some public building is decorated. A traditional manger scene is offensive to atheists and marginalizes the towns only Jewish Family, and generic non-denominational holiday decorations are offensive to Christians who think they are the only ones who can celebrate Christmas.
Sorry about that whole Jesus thing... |
I just don’t get why seeing something as innocent as a manger scene or a Menorah invokes so much hate. When I see Christmas lights I don’t think “my god these people have killed Christ in Christmas” I think “oh sweet shiny stuff” likewise for when I see a giant lit up Menorah I don’t think (oh god these people killed Christ… oh wait…). The problem is not that people care so deeply about their holiday and it’s tradition it’s that people are assholes now a days and overly sensitive ones at that. Everyone is so stressed out from having to spend every dollar they have decorating their house to prove they can make the largest carbon footprint,
Yup... |
or buying a presents for secret Santa for that creepy dude in the office, or even spending all the money and time on this huge meal that takes 5 hours to make and only 15 minutes to eat and to hear about how dry the turkey was. Holidays are now only good for the excused gluttony and the excessive vacation time you can take without getting fired. These are the things that connect our Holiday celebrations. Lets look for common ground here, everyone likes to get shit housed on Christmas so maybe the symbol for non-denominational Christmas should be a drunk Santa
I hate my life as much as I hate you... which is alot... |
or a really fat person since it’s socially acceptable to eat till you puke on Holidays. What about good old fashioned capitalistic Christmas where we don't care about anything but shaking the Christmas card to get the money out of it (Christans like money just as much as jews ok.. we jsut don't know how to save it like them), or waking up at the ass crack of dawn to open up presents. I for one also enjoy hooking up with some cynical dude with the ironic reindeer sweater I find at the office Christmas party. How about we all celebrate how much we like to torture our animals and dress them up for Holidays pretending that they too somehow love to celebrate this time of year ( wonder what religion my cats are...?)
I'm drunk, you look like santa.. shiz about to get real |
I think people enjoy marginalizing themselves now a days, unfortunately with the popularity and the deep rooted tradition in the Christmas Holiday people will undoubtedly find a reason to cause a problem. Everyone needs to put their big girl panties on and let others do and you do yourself… (well you know what I mean)
this was just too funny.... and deff not offensive |
