God said: "Let there be Spending".
Thank God for Walmart. Or should that be "Thank Walmart for God!". It seems that after years of politcal correctness gone mad Wallmart has decided that it is okay to call "Christmas"... well, "Christmas".
No more Happy Holidays! The war against Christmas is over. The commercialization of Christ has won and we can all be happy for it. I am thinking of starting a company that prints bumper stickers that say "What would Jesus Buy?".
Forget Hanukkah and Kwanzaa which fall around the same time and fit nicely under the "Happy Holidays" umbrella. Forget the fact that Christmas was originally a pagan holiday! Just get out and spend, spend, spend, knowing that every dollar you give to your big-box retailer will get you one step closer to eternal happiness! Rejoice!!!

I had to trot out my favourite 'do they know it isn't Christmas' story. The pagan festival at Midwinter was replaced by Christ's birthday; which actually occurs around the 22nd September (bit of a stretch, then) but that was what the Christian Church excelled at; replacing pagan gods and festivals is a lot cheaper and less karma-heavy than killing the actual pagans!
Interesting that Tolkien chose 22nd September as the birthday for both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, no?
