Anything but the bed bugs. I don’t have laundry machines in my apartment or near enough cash in my checking account to get enough quarters.

I used to work for a Midwest university and we got about 10 days. It was truly the most wonderful time of the year.

;-).

I agree it is definitely not. I said “likely” simply because it seems there are different opinions on when his actual birthday is, (and whether it occurred at all). I’ve heard March, July (which another commenter also mentioned), September. And since we don’t have a concrete date, it could! “IT COULD!!!!@&$*#” be…

Well, there are evergreen trees at the North Pole, where Coca-Cola Santa lives. And Santa drove the sleigh (except it was pulled by dinosaurs and polar bears) to Bethlehem and pulled baby Jesus out of Mary’s womb.

In my last job, they called the annual holiday party “Winter Celebration,”and I actually kind of preferred it because it was too lame to be a party, it was at our office for 2 hours in the middle of the day so it certainly wasn’t a holiday and I like Winter. Well, as you can imagine this just really fucking annoyed a…

Christmas songs are pretty fun to belt out when you’re looped. Just saying “figgy pudding” and “Tannenbaum” sober makes me smirk.

I agree with you. Especially if you think about the commonly reported and accepted story of the birth of Jesus; no crib for a bed, parents seeking safe shelter turned away by a bunch of assholes, etc. Sounds familiar right now.

I can’t believe I forgot about the “Holiday only, totally not Christmas at ALL, guys!” red and green cups.

OMG this is what gets me about my aunt. She doesn’t go to church either. Not even Xmas mass! Neither do I, obviously but I don’t have a hard on about CHRISTmas. Conversely the few people I know who are still very devout Christians, don’t seem to be concerned about the “War”.

I like your style!

No. It is never wrong to passively aggressively troll them. I don’t do cards because I am a broke ho, but I immediately posted this article to FB specifically to do just that. And on Xmas day, I will get tipsy on mimosas as is my holiday custom and post a surly yet festive message that very pointedly says “Happy…

Separation of church and state only applies to non-Christian churches, dont’cha know.

No one. No one is banning Christmas. But if I am to believe my aunt who has a FB fit about this every damn year, it’s the people who have the audacity to say “Happy Holidays” who have sinister motives to take Christmas from their cold dead hands.

This seems like a wise use of time and resources. There’s surely nothing more important for them to do before Congress shuts down for the holidays.

I’ve long been curious to try Wen, but was put off by the price. Plus my scalp gets really oily so putting conditioner or cleansing conditioner, whatever they call it seems counterintuitive. Gonna take a hard pass now.

My grandparents owned a grocery store in a small rural town from the 1950s - 1980s. After the store closed, my grandma moved the 7Up Santa display horror* onto the 2nd floor landing of their house, where he resided, silently watching and creeping us out year-round. Why? To ensure good behavior of course! Fuck this Elf…

Did anyone else make the mistake of reading the comments at the USA Today post of the article?

Who's got the brain bleach?

Nothing. Thankfully no more weird pics
