I say “happy holidays” not because I’m anti-Christmas -- I assure you, I love me some presents -- but because, and I know this will shock a lot of folks out there, I’ve discovered that there are people other than Christians in the world, who also celebrate different holidays in December. 

Nepotism is unfair and annoying and occasionally infuriating, but it’s not inherently bad. It’s a near-inevitability in almost any industry, and I’m sure we can all name someone whose path up the Hollywood ladder was made easier by their parents who nevertheless actually does deserve to be there.

It’s the entertainment equivalent of “self-made” millionaires who go on diatribes about how hard they worked, etc., and you invariably find out that their parents gave them their seed money. No one’s saying it’s weird for your parents to have done that, but maybe consider at least acknowledging that your situation is…

The real War on Christmas is the commercial/materialist celebration completely overwhelming any sort of spiritual significance the holiday may have held for Christians. Not only has that war been lost in the general public, but Evangelicals happily surrendered to the capitalists decades ago.

It’s not surprising that actor’s kids want to be actors. It’s also not surprising when a bunch of actor’s kids get together with a bunch of director’s kids to make a movie together and find fifty million dollars to make it.

Honestly, it’s hard to argue against Carrie Fisher being the one true answer.

Great point.  “Well, maybe it got my foot in the door!”  Which is literally the hardest friggin’ part.  

Easter is fucking crazy honestly. Christmas, as we know it, was basically created to make Pagans happy. The birth of Christ really wasn’t a huge deal in early Christianity.

Kinda surprised you can be reading the AVClub for so long and still believe you must be liked by the public in order to be a successful, famous actor.

Laura Dern kicks all the ass. So does Jamie Lee Curtis.

If your faith is on such shaky ground that someone cheerfully saying “happy Holidays!” to you throws you into fits because they aren’t specifically honoring your particular holiday, maybe you don’t actually have any faith?

That’s 100% what it is. 

With things like these, I really have no idea if Depp is stupid or delusional. Like, she genuinely believes she got to where she is on her own merit and just *happens* to be related to someone famous.

There is nothing more hilarious than saying “happy holidays” to old trumpboozled whites and watching their diaper fill with rage. And poopy. 

Let’s see, currently conservatives are battling:

Also, the voices in their heads 

Hmmm...Could it be...SATAN????

Windmills, primarily, but also some straw men. 

I usually say “Merry Christmas” when it’s literally Christmas and something about the holidays when I’m talking about the general season. It’s, you know, not hard.  

If Tim Allen had it his way, the line would’ve been something along the lines of “The Woke Left has been trying to cancel Christmas every year!”
