it's merry christmas, damnit

It's whatever greeting makes her happy, dammit.

people celebrate christmas this time of the year. not the holiday season. that's some bullshit the democrats invented.

[thud]

So...the Democrats invented Jews? Muslims? Folks who just aren't, for whatever reason, Christian? Lots of religions have holidays this time of year. Pull your head out, man. You and I celebrate Christmas, but not everyone does. If Hillary wants to wish us "Happy Holidays", then take it in the spirit it's delivered in, and don't try to force her to conform to your way of thinking.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.

you have the most cheerful work conversations.

I'm going to go gift shopping now and I'm going to be deliberately kind and cordial to everyone.

I work with really cool people

Some people are idiots all year long...maybe we just notice it more during the holidays because they stand out from the crowd more?

Merry Christmas.

I hope that's the case. I'm skeptical, though. Maybe it's just that people are in higher concentration during the holidays and therefore are stressed out as a result of lack of personal space? That's one theory of mine

I don't mind the music so much - in fact, it's not Christmas unless I've heard "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by U2 and "Blue Christmas" by Elvis (the latter of which I still haven't heard this year) but they're not exactly the standard carols. 'Course there are some Christmas songs I simply despise so I can sympathize with you.

I hope you have a great Christmas and take good care of yourself and your girl.

I think the Paul McCartney Christmas song is by far the worst....errr....except for the Barbara Striesand (sp?). You'd think Paul could write a better song than that, ya know?

But, yeah...U2 and Elvis I can't complain about. It's all the cutesy crap with bells and the blatently obnoxious tunes that would have never found the money to record were they not Christmas songs that kill me. :o)

And I will have an awsome Christmas this year. We're going up to see Sarah's family in Chicago and going up to Green Bay-ish area at some point, so I'm hoping to actually see some snow! I can't remember the last time I saw snow on Christmas, so that should be really cool. I turn into a total little kid when there's snow on the ground. It's ridiculous. Hope you and the wife and kids have a great one, too! :o)
