Now that Halloween is done the war on Christmas is full steam ahead! Are you ready!!
There are only 2 sides here - either you're with us or you give aid and abet to the enemy. In 2008 we pulled out a strong war on Xmas but there were little things overlooked. Did we go after the store Santa Clauses, did we rearrange the bad lawn decorations, did we make at least one small child cry when we told them "THERE IS NO SANTA".

I need 110% from all of you this season if 2009 is to be a raging success with the war or Christmas. This Friday we'll have the annual pep rally so I expect you all to be there ready to rumble!!

6. Aw shit, we did this last year! Can't we try something different... like a "War on Apple Pie"?
Or maybe a War on Logic! Naw, that's already by taken by them.

10. How about something over the top like burning Christmas trees?
Or better yet have a manger scene with a non-Caucasian baby depicting Jesus.

17. I've been ready for the War on Christmas since Oct. 11
That when I saw the first batch of Christmas bric-a-brac in stores. Good Christ, can't we have Thanksgiving first.
