Best gift: -Being with my family, because they really are the best people I have ever known.
Woah. Woah. WOAH. Christmas is OVER, missy. Time to put away that syrupy stuff and take down the tree. 'Peace on Earth' time is DONE.
That is how my family is ALL of the time. Seriously, it is vomit inducing if you aren't used to it. They are hippies, but not dirty hippies or fake medicine hippies.
I'm not really a Tim Minchin fan (which is blasphemy to most people I know), but I really like this song.
Many Christians Down here complained mightily and boycotted the Salvation Army Christmas CD because someone with a good taste in music and an interesting sense of humour put this song on the CD right around the middle.
That's right - People boycotted a CD, which the funds go to charity, the production of which is donated by another company, because it has a song with lyrics about how the guy isn't really religious, doesn't think He'll be seeing jesus this christmas, and that he's a bit freaked out by churches, but loves christmas anyway, irrelevant of religion of consumerism, because he gets to see his family, and have a good time with the people he loves, and show off his baby daughter to her grandparents and great grandparents for both her first christmas, and for the first time. The fact that Minchin himself is an atheist is also citied as a reason for boycotting the CD, as if it has to do with fucking anything.
Yeah. Athiests are the perpetrators of the war on christmas. No, You stupid magical invisible sky-friend worshipping CUNTS, you think everyone else has a war on christmas, because you've got a war-on for anything that's not about your magical mate swinging from some fucking four-by-twos. Anything that's not had it's head held under the baptismal font long enough to wash out all of the "Evil" and "Satan" but all that happens is that it comes up for air half drowned in holy water and absolutely fucking brain-dead. Get your fucking religion out of our christmas, you bloody zealots - in our christmas, we don't care about which religion your from, or gifts, or church services you attend, or fucking ANY of that. Our christmas is about Family, and Friends, the people you love, being good to one another. It doesn't matter where you come from, who you are, or anything, you're welcome, but for one lot who isn't welcome - and that's people who use a time of happiness, family and friends to shove their religion down your throats, and use it as a shield because they can't fucking face you down, they must use it to shield themselves by saying "Oh, but Christmas has the word Christ in it, and you're not a Christian, you're telling us to piss off because you're Anti-Christmas!", and won't take just one fucking day out of the rest of the year where they act like just bloody people and don't try to convert you.
For fuck's sake. Worse than fucking aromatherapists.
Athiests are the perpetrators of the war on christmas.
No war for figgy pudding.
