You're Doing it Wrong

Can we please keep the X in Xmas? Better yet, can we do away with it altogether and maintain the separation of Church and Commerce, like Thomas Jefferson asked us to do when he overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple?


Stupid Kohl's. Gettin' all religious. I fixed their dumb banner for them.
















I jest, of course. As do these guys. (Thanks to Warbird for the find.)

It is interesting to note that some faith groups don't mind when you poke a little fun at them, while others will cut your head off if you do.

Satan's Claws

Nevermind the nativity scenes, we've got fatter fish to fry.

Poor Santa, now even the pagan symbols of this holiday (can I say "Holiday?") are under fire from the arbiters of offensiveness.

Time to reissue my greeting card.















*PLEASE READ THIS MERRY CHRISTMAS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSUMING ANY SEMBLANCE OF CHRISTMAS SPIRIT CONVEYED BY Where's My Jetpack? (“WMJP”), INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, HAPPINESS, CHEER, WARMTH AND ANY AND ALL OTHER POSITIVE FEELINGS BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE HOLIDAY.

All disputes shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration to be conducted in Seminole County, Florida, or a location closest to Seminole County, Florida if no such location for the chosen arbitration body exists there.

These Terms represent the entire understanding and agreement between you and WMJP regarding the Christmas Holiday, and supersedes all other previous agreements, understandings and/or representations regarding the same.
