OK, Fuck it, how about we just be honest, and clump November and December into one month, call it "Christmas" and put up with the fact that I'm going to KILL YOU ALL.
I say that if we as a society are going to steadily move away from the things that make this a christian holiday; i.e. its supposed to be a one day celebration douchebags. Then we should just change the name back to Saturnalia and replace all the orgies and sacrifices we removed over the centuries.
I dunno, if stretching "christmas" out to two months means that we have 1/6th of the year with goodwill to our fellows, I'm all for it. OTOH, the whole commercial "mortgage your house to buy xmas presents" schtick is RIGHT out.
A New York Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death after shoppers broke open the Wal-Mart doors to get in early for a 5AM sale. Another two shoppers in an unrelated incident shot each other to death at another store.
Goodwill? No. This season brings out the worst in folks. And the music sucks. Except the Grinch song. And the Carol of the Bells.
Seriously, of all the bits in The Grinch, why that one? It has only the most tenuous of connections to Christmas.
