Been watching too many Belichick pressers?

How is busting out Merry Christmas to someone after 12/25 any more of a waste of time than saying some variation of "Hey, how's it going" when you really do not give a shite about how that person is doing?

Well, if you want to be technical...from a church standpoint, the season of Christmas lasts from the evening of 12/24 through the evening of 1/5 when the Epiphany is celebrated.

So this is actually the right time to be saying Merry Christmas.

This was exactly what I was thinking because we were running around on Christmas Eve and Christmas and I didn't see my next-door neighbors until yesterday so the first thing I said when I saw them was Merry Christmas the same way I tell someone Happy Birthday after their birthday if I didn't communicate with them on their birthday.

Just confuse them and answer like the sergeant in we were soldiers:

“How do you know what kind of goddamn day it is?”

So 12 days of Christmas? They should write a song about it.

This year I’ve had like 10 people tell me Merry Christmas in the last couple of days.


There's been so much politics with having to say "Merry Christmas" I think people are scared to say Happy Holidays. LOL.

I say Happy Crimbo
