30 Replies to “Taking Christ Out Of Christmas”

  1. It’s interesting to note that the wife of Jonathan Wilkinson bought shares in Lockheed shortly after he returned to Prinz Dummkopf’s cabinet. She also owns stock in Enbridge and Pfizer.

    Hmmmmm…..

    1. The jokes on her. I imagine she did it because she thought they’re going to get an F-18 replacement contract. Even if they do it will likely be a decade before there is an announcement and the order will be so so small it won’t make a difference to their share price.

      1. Maybe she was betting on the F-35, built by Lockheed Martin, being ordered for the RCAF.

  2. Taking Christ out of Christmas has been another socialist creep we’ve sat back and let crawl along for some time.
    It started with “happy holidays” and “holiday trees”. We have a holiday for no specific reason, make it whatever suits your fancy.

    1. Well, considering who was born on the 25th 50 years ago, wouldn’t it make sense to remove any references to Christ?

      A personality cult? Perish the thought!

      1. Progressives in Canada will be celebrating the birth of their Dear Leader.

        Rumour has it that hotels in Tofino and Whistler are fully booked.

    2. Liz – when someone says “happy holiday” to me, I respond with a hearty “and a Happy Holy Day to you also”. That being said, I’ve exchanged a lot of “Merry Christmas” greeting this year when out and about. But then, very back in the day, knew a Jewish woman with whom I would exchange cards this time of year; I sent a “Happy Hannukah” card her way and she responded with a “Merry Christmas” card for me.

  3. Christ has been here for over 2000 years, it’ll take a lot more than a gaggle of jelly spined, weasel dicked bureaucrats to make him go away.
    History is littered with those who’ve tried and failed.

    1. History is littered with those who’ve tried and failed.

      That’s because they didn’t “do it right”. Dear Leader will, no doubt, succeed. Remember, this is the time of The Great Reset, when all the errors of the last 6000 will finally be corrected and humanity will finally achieve perfection.

      1. Just a friendly reminder … there is no “War on Christmas” or Christians. Just a series of skirmishes … never ending series … of … skirmishes.

    2. Christmas matters, because it leads to Good Friday. Good Friday matters because it leads to Easter Sunday. God sent His Son to rescue man from the mess he put himself in. No government can change that fact. It won’t end well for those that try. H

  4. How the Puritans Banned Christmas

    In 1659 the Puritan government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony actually banned Christmas. So how did one of the largest Christian holidays come to be persecuted in the earliest days of New England?

    Christmas in 17th century England actually wasn’t so different from the holiday we celebrate today. It was one of the largest religious observances, full of traditions, feast days, revelry and cultural significance. But the Puritans, a pious religious minority (who, after all, fled the persecution of the Anglican majority), felt that such celebrations were unnecessary and, more importantly, distracted from religious discipline. They also felt that due to the holiday’s loose pagan origins, celebrating it would constitute idolatry.

      1. That is correct, the Puritans were @$$h0les. One need only read their works to know.

        They were in fact very similar to hippies. The Kool Kidz of the day, with all their focus on themselves and their in-group.

    1. And Jehovahs Witnesses don’t celebrate Birthdays … your point? That extremely rigid viewpoints align closely with your PM?

    2. @very old white guy

      The validity of an argument is independent of the likeability (or otherwise) of the one making it.

      1. Sorry, Rizwan, but the left decided long ago that the validity of any argument is intimately linked to whether or not they like the one making it. We’re done with spinning bowtie cuckservatives who won’t play by the enemy’s rules but instead pat themselves on the back for “taking the high ground” even though they lose every damn battle.

      2. There is no validity to the argument. It is oppression for its own sake. No different from taking the Ram out of Ramadan and making it “the holidays” instead.

        So, you support religious oppression now?

    3. I take their “religious discipline” didn’t include hanging or burning women at the stake who were accused of witchcraft. Talk about taking a page out of the Pagan handbook.
      Quite a fun bunch those Puritans…what’s not to like.

      “So, you support religious oppression now?”

      A loaded question is a type of logical fallacy in which the questioner uses flawed logic to pose a question based on an implicit assumption. The traditional example is the question “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

      1. I see. So labeling Christmas as “the holidays” is somehow different than labeling Ramadan as “the holidays”? Not to mention, changing the law to rename a religious occasion to something which is -not- religious eg: “the holidays” is not oppressive to that religion?

        Which logical fallacy is that?

  5. Does Christmas matter anymore? There are far more important things like hiding from a flu virus, shooting experimental drugs into our bodies, and professing moral superiority in their ignorance.

  6. Hmmm, this sounds somewhat familiar. Wasn’t there some country that did that in the 20th century? Replaced everything with the New Year holiday?
    If these guys really want to virtue signal, they should work that day. But we know that they are all freeloaders.

    1. My late uncle tried that with one of his employees. The chap claimed to be an atheist, so my uncle said that he, therefore, didn’t believe in Christmas, so he shouldn’t get paid for that day.

      They came to an agreement after that…..
