Yes, you heard right, I said "Fuck this Happy Holiday Nonsense".

I forgot where I was, but it wasn't that long ago - maybe a week or so, when someone had said "happy holidays" to me. I turned around as I was leaving the store, and I simply said "it's fucking Merry Christmas you asshole".

So what's the big deal? Businesses don't want to offend anyone during the Christmas season, most likely to keep sales high and to prevent lawsuits, but that's complete bullshit. I was talking with my grandmother on the phone the other night, and she mentioned that the gym she goes to has "Happy Holidays" on their white board. On top of that, she had mentioned something about building snow people. What the fuck is that all about? It's a fucking snowman. There's no question about that. We've been singing that damn Frosty the Snowman song for decades, and now because some of some femi-nazi movement, we have to change a family oriented kids song to sound like shit (not saying that it didn't already, but still).

So now we don't have "Merry Christmas" in public, nor do we build snowmen, but snow people. It sounds like a horror story doesn't it? Attack of the fucking snow people.

My grandmother told me "I use to build snowmen when I was a child, and if I go out and build one tomorrow, it's going to be a snowman, not a snow person", and she's right. Why do we have to change every little thing because some femi-nazi douche bag feels offended by something that's decades old? On top of that, why the fuck don't stores say "Merry Christmas" anymore?

It's simple. America is a country filled with absolute pussies. Everything is now catered to prevent people from feeling offended. It offends me. Actually, the whole Christmas holiday offends me, but I'll get into that later on. What about companies putting on parties and asking people to make Holiday Cookies. What the fuck is a Holiday Cookie? Is it a variety of cookies in the form of dreidel's, stockings, the Star of David, Qur'an quotes, and whatever else? Fuck no. People are going to bring in cookies in the shape of Christmas Tree's, Stockings, Candy Canes, not fucking yamaca's, menorah's, or Israeli missiles.

Our government feels the need to cater to all these cultures and think that we shouldn't offend anyone. Guess what? They're taking away OUR fucking traditions. They're taking away our celebratory customs and leaving us with a faint memory of what this time of year use to be like. Children growing up today won't know what a Christmas Tree is, just what a Holiday Tree might be.

Why should we cater to every fucking religion? If we go to Iraq, do they celebrate Christmas? Fuck no. They do their traditions and nothing else. Are we going to change the name French Fries to People Fries? (Remember when they tried naming them Freedom Fries?) No. Why? Because, I'm going out on a limb here, they came from the French, hence why they're called French Fries.

I guarantee that if everyone decided to stop doing their Christmas shopping until the stores stopped saying "Happy Holidays", they would change their attitude to get people to open their wallets and write their checks.

The first amendment in the Bill of Rights is Freedom of Speech. How about we fucking start practicing that and act on what is left of our freedom and start making a change? Correct a person when they say Happy Holidays. Tell them that you want to start hearing "Merry Christmas" instead because that's what this fucking country celebrates.

Now let me discuss the meaning of Christmas. I am in no way a religious man, but I'm also not one for being a fucking hypocrite either. Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ. What the fuck does it say on our currency? In God We Trust. Not "In Allah We Trust", not "In Jorge We Trust", and not "In Zues We Trust". If our government is so adamant about putting "In God We Trust" on our fucking dollar bills, shouldn't we be celebrating his son's birth? It's not about buying presents for your spoiled children to show them that you love them. It's not about the XBOX or Playstations we give each other or computer electronics to make us a more lazy person, but it's to celebrate the fucking birth of Christ. If you're not into that whole religious thing, then use that time to spend with your families and loved ones. If you feel the need to buy them something for Christmas, then go ahead, that's your tradition, but at least take the time to be thankful for having the privilege of being with your family.

So having a fucking Merry Christmas everyone, fuck the "Happy Holidays". If a place starts saying "Happy Holidays" to me, I'm going to return everything I just bought and demand an apology. Fuck this "We can't offend anyone" nonsense, because it offends me and millions of people who are too afraid to speak their mind.
