I worked in retail. There are only two holidays: Halloween and Christmas. The Christmas songs in the store I worked in started the music on November 1. Thanksgiving is just a road mark between the two. Only war is for profits.
Christmas celebrations are pretty much a repackaging of the Germanic and saturnalian “pagan” traditions that were crushed by Christian oppression..In other words, European Christians waged a war on all the things that were fun and merry about the winter solstice and only readopted them once they could make money off it, or control their masses. (No pun intended.)
^^too bad, so sad. we see that you’re very disappointed that unemployment is well below 8 percent now, despite your right wing republicans best efforts to kill off the economy. housing trending up, unemployment down. Looks like the republicans the last four years will have the same legacy as bush the previous 8 years. bush 2000-2008, worst president ever. republican house 2008-20013, worst party ever.

Somehow I suspect Jesus Christ wouldn’t approve of Mr. O’Reilly.

At least we evolved, unlike the left wing vegans who deevolved.
