Huh. I would have thought Limbaugh would speak more in support of the commercialization of Christmas, as that's more in line with one's religion if Mammon is the god one worships.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I admit to feeling some temptation to go through the season without mentioning the C word; but I've decided I've finally outgrown the "do not put beans up your nose" stage.
I had this temptation, too.
I'm not offended by someone telling me "Merry Christmas." If someone Jewish who knows I'm Jewish says it to me, I might roll my eyes, and there have been certain days, usually after shopping all day, when I've just felt so overwhelmed by Christmassy stuff that any mention of it will feel annoying, but never offensive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I seriously doubt anyone is offended by being wished a Merry Christmas.
No, I can totally see irritation, which means that I'm sure there are people actually offended.
The presumption of Christianity is a stifling one.

We just had latkes, and now my father is out buying some jelly doughnuts. I love Chanukah foods.

Oh! How could I forget? You taught me "punk-ass bitch" in German! It's perfect, huh? Both arc-y and profane, beautiful and ugly. Like life...you better believe I'll fight for that, bunk. "Dionysus" would be a perfect name for somebody's next package. But the cornerboys would make it sound funky, like Hamsterdam.
