“do they know is christmas” got talked about, and generally torn apart for being incredibly racist.

taking a dump with a toddler or younger is a pain, but you do what ya gotta doo-doo ... Now, I come from the era of no diaper-changing shelves in the Men’s rooms (those sexist, prick store designers) that was the true struggle.
I like they went FULL MILLENIAL this year and had showed growing up through the years looking for a car and then finally being an adult IN THE SAME HOUSE finding a car. NEVER MOVE OUT.
I like the ones that are SO traditional, they’re not even religious anymore, just thinly-veiled paganism.
NOBODY. Africa is like half Christian. They fucking know it’s Christmas.
No. You are literally the only person who doesn’t change the radio station when that song comes on. I bet you love those ASPCA Melissa Etheridge commercials to, you sadist.
I totally came here to post about this song. Santa and Jesus in the same song is just confusing.
I feel like Christmas Shoes at least gets points for being SO FUCKING MAUDLIN.
Lexus really stepped up the “car as Christmas present” theme this year and also took it in a new and somewhat disturbing direction by having a child (apparently an “inner child,” but still) embracing the car while Bolero plays. At least get Bo Derek into the mix if you’re going full Ravel.
Since we’re talking about Godzilla and Santa, it’s worth noting that, in the Marvel Comics Universe, Santa is a near all-powerful mutant who defeated the entire X-Men nearly instantaneously. He’s like a class 5 mutant who lives forever and can change his mass and conjure snowballs and shit.
Christmas Shoes tho
Drew is right about the religious Christmas songs beating out secular ones. The one gotcha is that sometimes the secular songs sneak in some religion late in the verses.
Yea that bathroom story was a dumb “look at me being a daddy!” hot take. I don’t have kids and I don’t even notice it when a guy brings his kid into the store bathroom.
Seriously. There was no reason for that dad to be embarrassed. Sometimes you have to go, and you have the kid with you. Do your business, then do your shopping. No need to flee like a pansy.
Santa has to travel 650 feet per second in order to fulfill his shipment order. https://www.quora.com/How-fast-would-Santa-have-to-travel-to-visit-every-house-in-one-night

In between “Jingle Bell Rock” and “All I Want For Christmas Is You” were two songs, one garbage and one a classic that doesn’t get enough love. These are, respectively, “Last Christmas” by Wham and “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway.
Who strings lights on their trees these days? Pre-lit artificial is the way to go. So much less hassle.
I’ve heard the “it would be arrogant to think we’re alone” line a bunch in the past two weeks. The unlikelihood of intelligent life visiting earth isn’t so much in that there isn’t any out there. Most physicists would tell you that it’s a near certainty that there is life outside our solar system. It’s the extreme…
25# of potatoes peeled, grated, squeezed (gotta get that water content way down for a proper fry), and pancaked. Saturday was a good day.
We cover the counter in paper (newspaper if we’ve got it, paper shopping bags if not). I wear in ill-fitting apron (because my wife thinks it’s hilarious and I do’t want to stain any…
