Dear Pat Robertson:

Of COURSE I am out to steal Christmas. Christmas is AWESOME. Gimme a piece of that action or I will TAKE it.

(Plus, I thought it was up for grabs anyway, since the Christians snatched it from the pagans. Are you telling me nobody else can have a winter holiday? I thought this season was about giving!)

Here we go again. *SIGH* Have they ever paid any attention to the fact that Christmas stuff gets put out right after Halloween in most stores, August in craft stores, tv specials start up Tgiving night, and the radio stations that play Xmas music 24/7 after Tgiving also play it every weekend in November? That, in short, averaging it out, Christmas gets 1/6th of the entire year?

(Oh noes, someone has said "Happy Holidays", they're daring to acknowledge that even I have a holiday other than Xmas this season, it's called New Year's!)

Also, I don't see a War on Easter getting brayed about, and that not only has a heck of a lot less of a season, but is also... you know... the defining event of Christian religion?

Those atheists are always after his Lucky Charms!

Thank you for acknowledging that, btw! If atheists had had more of a say in how Christmas was, I'd probably have a much easier time with it. Merry Atheistmas?

Also, right after Halloween? I should count myself so lucky! In a hardware store on October 30th this year I ran into a giant inflatable Santa, and I admit that it did not make my day. Then I decided, maybe I can just let them act like it's Christmas before Halloween, because they're doing that anyway, and in exchange for that I can just act like it's Halloween all year round. Which I guess I'm already doing anyway too, so it all works out.

I don't see why anyone would want to steal Christmas. I mean, you see a movie and go out for Chinese any day of the year.

To you, I'm going to say Merry Christmas, Amelia! :)
