Then again, I guess I should have been glad for the good wishes whether or not they jibed with my own beliefs (and I think it's okay for Christians to celebrate Jewish holidays, as long as it's not "The Messiah's Not Here Yet Day.").<BR/><BR/>Or perhaps we should all just wish each other Happy Yak-Shaving Day.Scott H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17116096475759559283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-49555899215677306372007-12-17T12:15:00.000-08:002007-12-17T12:15:00.000-08:00Maybe the presents will be made in China.This comi...Maybe the presents will be made in China.<BR/><BR/>This comic actually pisses me off.

I haven't, unless the screeching over the ABSENCE of a greeting counts. <BR/><BR/>And Dave - you're right.

You know, if he really thought that some of his "jokes" were going to be so vulgar that he doesn't want to mention them in the same breath as Christmas, he could have-- I don't know-- self-edited and not written those jokes. He can't have it both ways - insisting on saying Christmas despite the fact that it's primarily a secular/cultural holiday for many people and then turning around and saying he doesn't want to sully the word Christmas when he makes fun of the secular gift-giving portion of the holiday.<BR/>3. And this progressive Christian cares not one whit whether he uses "Christmas" or "holiday" in his lame-ass attempts at humor this week. There are ways to poke fun at the excesses of the holiday while still embracing the deeper meaning.

Was this a done in one go, oops, out of room, time to bring in the ellipses sort of thing? I like how we have the duck face randomly thrown in so that we know it's Mallard and not Bruce Tinsley.
