Bah. Humbug.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Daisy Jane! Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.
My decorating pet peeve is people who leave the decorations up for months after the holidays. Really annoys me.
"...And I just know you're going to get those Halloween decorations out of the yaaard. I'm at Radio Shack, yeah. And they have all these new phones--and I NEED a new phone, isn't that the darnedest coincidence? Nokia, Motorola..."
I miss that commercial. Not Christmas season without that commercial.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm with omnis.
But I do like the tasteful, teeny white lights on other people's houses.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
my ideal decor is tiny white lights, green boughs, red bows and the occasional pine cone. I have a feeling we won't have any this year.

This is So. Adorable.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't find the inflatable yard decoration thingies to be particularly Christian, pagan, Jewish, or any other religious group that might celebrate a winter holiday.
I truly don't want to start a fight here, and I realize I'm making the statement that I'm about to make from a perspective of having grown up Catholic in the heartland, but -- with every passing year, the holiday of "Christmas" seems to be less and less Christian. So I tend to not look at a big inflatable tree or Santa or reindeer or palm tree wrapped in tinfoil and associate it with the baby J.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How about a big inflatable baby Jesus?
Or maybe an inflatable Jesus whacking an inflatable Charles Darwin with a stick?
I wish I had a yard, because I could totally put up stuff to confuse my neighbors....

Happy birthday, Daisy! Your trip sounded like it was awesome. I love you being world traveler girl.

move out and draw fire
Eh, the big church next to the house I grew up in had a big inflatable baby Jesus. Actually a big plastic light-up manger scene.
And I'm having to try to teach my son that Christmas != The Grinch and The Grinch != Christmas. (When he says "I want Christmas" he means he wants to want TGWSC.) So we're at the store and I am pointing to non-grinchy things: "Look! Christmas stockings! Christmas bows! Christmas trees!"
Later, when there are a number of people around, he points and yells, "Christmas Ho's!"

You usually don't have to walk too far in my neighborhood to find Santa kneeling in a creche.
