Oh, and if I don't make another post before then, please note that I extend holiday greetings and christmas cheer to all in the form of "lolz":
Please Note: If you are unaware of why this is funny and the historical context, George Washington and troops on Christmas in 1776, crossed the Delaware and launched a surprise attack against the Hessian mercenary forces in what become known as the Battle of Trenton during the American Revolution.
;)
You know what this means? The next time someone tries to bore you to tears acting like there's a biiiig controversy about what to call the winter holidays, you can look at them straight in the face and tell them deadpan that you're not celebrating Christmas per se, you are sacrificing a tree (or lighting a Menorah) and gift-giving in honor of the ass-kicking George Washington served the Hessians in the Battle of Trenton on Christmas in 1776. Viva La Revolución!
Screw controversy. I want cheer, goodwill, gift-giving and to eat so much food I consider investing in a vomitorium ala ancient Rome. Call it whatever you want. Just don't try to hone in on my mounding plate of stuffing, hoss.
