Santa was having a terrible time getting ready for his big Christmas eve trip. Rudolph caught a cold, and his nose got stuffed up and went dark. One of the runners on the sleigh broke from the weight of the load of toys, and the elves were on strike for more pay and longer eggnog breaks. Santa decided he needed some liquid refreshment, but when he looked for his rum to spike the hot cider, the bottle was empty. Santa stepped on a piece of a toy one of the elves had dropped, fell, and broke the cider jug. When he got out the broom to sweep up the pieces, he found that mice had eaten the broom straw. Just then the doorbell rang. Santa trudged wearily to the door to find a little angel carrying a huge Christmas tree. "Good evening, Santa! Isn't it a beautiful day? Where would you like me to put this Christmas tree?" Ever since then, there's been an angel on top of the tree!
According to many there is no such thing as Christmas anymore. But if that is true why do govermnent offices and their employees shut down for an extended time for their winter break? Why do large chain stores no longer have Christmas decorations or a Santa Clause, yet push Christmas gift buying? If there is no such thing as Christmas let's keep the Post Office and all other government offices open, even on Sundays. After all, Sunday is only the first day of the week, a work day. As for me Merry Christmas.
What is the first day of your work week? Happy Festivus. Merry Christmas. Happy Haunaka Happy Quanza. Happy Pasta. http://festivusweb.com/ http://www.washingtontimes.com/news...-festivus/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS
Merry Christmas to everyone here in my Station Wagon Family. May 2014 bring joy and prosperity to all of you wonderful friends.
While in town wife had to get her new phone card. Stopped at the local redneck Wal-Mart. Not one colored light, tinsel, or Santa Clause in sight! It's exactly two weeks until Christmas and very few stores even have signs wishing us Merry Christmas. What's America coming to? But they do have Christmas trees and decorations for sale plus all of those red and green clothing. Shoppers in tank tops and shorts were grabbing gift items like any other Christmas shopping day.
Edited and reposted I understand why. Christmas is viewed as primarily a Christian holiday, though there are arguments to the contrary, and there are lots of people who celebrate it without any religious or spiritual ties to it. Anyways, too many people complained and/or threatened lawsuit. We're not Christian but Zoe and I celebrate Christmas. Even at my work there aren't any decorations up, only for sale... except in the employee areas where there are decorations and occasionally music depending on who is working. I have my MP3 player playing with my headphones hanging around my neck playing christmas music. The only thing I ever complained about was Christmas showing up after Halloween or on thanksgiving. They're just scared now. Sad really that the different view points can't get along better. Christmas, like Halloween, is for everyone who wishes to celebrate it, or at least that is how it should be in my opinion. -X Keys Okay, I think I've met my normal quota of over-posting pics.
