I had one old bitch here at work yell the words 'CHRISTMAS PARTY' in my face when I dared to call in the 'Holiday Party.'

I work at a lawfirm in downtown NYC.

Do you KNOW how many Jews sign off on our raises and bonuses??? Don't bite the yarmulke that feeds you.

Thanks GOD Herb's Body Shop and Johnson Roofing say Jesus is the reason for the season. I don't want pagans painting my car or fixing my shingles.

I was in a restaurant this weekend and the waitress was super nice. As we were leaving I said "Happy Holidays!' and she snapped "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" I smiled and she said "MERRY....CHRISTMAS!!!" in a not at all festive way. I said "I was trying to wish you happy new year, too. Big mistake that was, bitch."

Oh no!

Nordstrom's

"Nordstrom's policy is to say "happy holidays" and not "Merry Christmas"."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the vast majority of people who give two shits about this kind of thing couldn't afford a single glove at Nordstrom's.

This one really baffles me.

I'm a Christmas monster. A tree, carols on my iPod, every Christmas special I can get my eyeballs on . . . but it would never occur to me to NOTICE, much less object to, someone saying "Happy Holidays" or the like.

I guess it's the same mentality that thinks my having marriage rights threatens their own. If I say "Happy Holidays" I've somehow taken something away from them.

But what, exactly, besides their presumed hegemony?

I had a facebook argument over this issue a week or so ago with a Christian "friend" of mine. It's insanity. And the depth of their RAGE that their local bank branch isn't putting up a tree this year?
