I know. Another Christmas bitch.
But seriously, almost everything is closed on Christmas day, so why the hell aren’t I allowed to say “Merry Christmas”? —I don’t even celebrate it, but you should have a happy one

You may! I hereby give you permission. And should anyone challenge that, tell them to speak with me!
Vrolijke Kerstmis Everyone!
Merry hum buggies.
Who said you’re not allowed to say Merry Christmas? Jason Kenney and John Baird don’t tell THIS WARRIOR what he can and cannot say.
You can say Merry Christmas and if someone gets offended tell them to get over it.
Not every place is closed:

FA-RA-RA-RA-RA Everybody!
You know you’re going to have a crapshit day when you open your advent calendar and find a note that reads:
“I.O.U. 1 (one) 26 oz bottle of gin – Love, The Dalai Lama”
FAAAACCCCCKKKKKKK! >: (
Ivan – methinks you might get a visit from the “I see racism everywhere” crowd, or in context the “I see lacism everywhere”?
I’ve just returned from that fabulous vendor of Brit delicacies in Tantallon and dropped a shitload of doh ray me on some festive fatties.
RIP Mr. Kalashnikov – inventor of that splendid tool that brings joy and a boner to every gang banger and terrorist in the world.
Several Hortons House of Horrors are open on Christmas day, gotta keep the untermensch lubricated.
Michelle Tittler is going to be protesting outside Ivan’s Toblerone party.
UWS, it’s not Conservatives who are trying to quash free speech, it’s the Lefties and their PC garbage. If you say anything they don’t like, they try to have it censored or attempt to make the speaker a criminal. But sometimes it backfires as in a certain MLA who did a scene I guess she wasn’t proud of that she doesn’t have the Copyright to, to a certain hunting equipment entrepreneur who said something he believed and was suspended by a certain station. I have no doubt them boys will be able to write their own cheque as you know someone will pick them up.
I for one say let ANYONE say WHATEVER THEY want. It is better to know what one is thinking rather than trying to guess. Nothing wrong with calling someone on something but to censor or belittle is wrong. Viva Duck Dynasty and Duck Commander.
I’ll invite her in for a glass of firewater-nog, but only when she changes her name to Michelle Settler.
This just in:backwoods Hillbilly who happens to be on TV is still, in fact, a backwoods Hillbilly; with all the bigoted views that that entails. Public shocked, for some reason…more at 11
I didn’t know Sarah Palin is a lefty.
UWS for the record, I’d do Sarah Palin. The chances of it happening are about the same as Kim Jong Un arriving at Phats to get a decent haircut.
I totally know what I’m going to treat myself to in the New Year.
“Hey Phat, you crazy Irish bastard, gimme a Kim Jong Un and try not to carve off my ear this time. ” >: )
Get the Un on one side and Rodman on the other.
I like how he asks, you going to be needing that ear anytime soon?
I think the only people that are ever actually told that they aren’t allowed to wish anyone a “Merry Christmas” are people working in call centres when talking to customers.
Merry Christmas, Happy whatever, and a very Happy New Year to everyone! 😀
Don’t forget on the 26th it’s Kwanzaa so everyone has got to speak in Kanyease, or Jesse Jackoff, or Rev Al Shitbag lingo , ya feel me beatch.
I can speak in Kanye lingo: I am the next Basil Fawlty *makes out with Nurse Hezzashian*
Basil is chasing Nurse Hezz?
Um I don’t think so.
Bro Tim has been trying to trap Nurse Hezz for a while.
That’s “trap” not “entrap”. (:
Same difference.
difference same
See? I knew if you people thought about it enough, one of you would come up with a half decent argument. Well done op. And i agree with you.
Fuck sakes, just shut up finally.
Oi, Baz. Me own coffee mug nearly went a’sailin’ when I caught sight of your new avatar. Cabot Trail Maple Cream liqueur is a bitch to clean off a monitor screen. That’s an awsome present, mate.
Ivan – my daughter shares my sarcastic wit, she’s half Brit, half Canadian and half Caper – I know that’s incorrect, it’s like those wankers who say on Maury that they’re 150% certain they’re not the father.
This fresh off the presses, the muzzers are trying to play the victim card

Here’s how it is: Legally speaking, if you, as a person, want to go around saying “Merry Christmas”, you have every right to do so. The shift towards “Happy Holidays” came about for governments and other secular organizations came about as a result of the increased diversity of our society so that the government wouldn’t be seen as favoring one religion over another, because in North America we have something called “separation of church and state”.
Well as the Grandson of two WWII vets who fought Hitler……to give us freedom, say whatever you like.
Merrry X-MAS and Happy Humbuggies.
christmas is always a nightmare…
and this one was no exception.
