... when certain right-wing bloviators start to serve up the traditional seasonal mulled whine, and the next battle in the War on Christmas™ begins. After all, we need to be reminded that we heathen unbelieving Grinches are steadily destroying the True Meaning of Christmas™ with our every thought, word and deed. Because every time you wish someone "Season's Greetings", God kills a reindeer.
Cuttlefish, the Poet Laureate of the eeeebil godless blogosphere, rallies the troops with a stirring verse or two here.
On a vaguely related note, Roy Zimmerman has promised that "Christmas on Mars" will return to YouTube this weekend. Something for my fellow benighted heathens to look forward to.

Hear the grandmothers boast
While preparing the roast--
It's a succulent, moist, reindeer veal!
Cuttlefish! I'm honoured that you wrote a verse for my humble blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteHeh. Christmas makes me less anti-religion than I am for the rest of the year. For one thing, the hymns are catchy. I've yet to hear any atheist tunes to rival "O, Little Town of Bethlehem".
ReplyDeleteReligion. Good for:
* Holidays
* Buildings
* Hymns
Though with modern technology, we can get back to the TRUE meaning of Christmas. NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command, I believe) use a series of tracking devices to follow Santa's progress on Christmas eve.

As well as a series of cameras mounted near internationally recognised sites and on aircraft that encounter him, they have infra-red trackers following the thermal emissions of Rudolph's nose :-). It's all very exciting. They have a Google map that's updated live on Christmas Eve.
