War on Christmas? Please?
Okay. I tried to tolerate the Christmas ads before November. The occasional Christmas carol on the radio. The inevitable influx of Christmas merchandise before the Halloween candy's cleaned from the shelves.
But sweet Cylon Baby Jesus (™![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Is it any wonder how a holiday spirit can be so diluted and inconsequential when it's celebrated for 1/6th of the entire year? With Thanksgiving so close to Christmas, it serves as a perfect buffer and milepost from which the actual festivity could start -- if anything, you could argue that a month of pre-holiday mirth is still erring on the side of overkill.
And if it's this distressing to me, I can hardly imagine how pleasant it is for my friends either from or now in non-Christian households. I feel yuir pain. Christmas and I have never really been on talking terms, but right now, if I see Christmas in a crosswalk in front of me, I won't even brake.
