Poll: A third of Americans think Christmas traditions are garbage.

'Christmas traditions' are rooted in paganism and the mid-winter solstice. That celebration was hijacked by medieval clergy and overlaid by a fake festival, and they didn't even bother to change the date. Ever heard of lambs in mid-winter?

Bring on the booze, food and licentiousness. Keep religion out of it.
 
If we need new Christmas traditions, I guess they should be . . . crueler. Any ideas?
The Second Amendment absolutists here claim they need their steel penis substitutes to "protect" themselves should the "government" attempt to take their "freedom". tee comma hee.

I propose The Annual Freedom Games, televised live on Fox on Christmas afternoon:

Team WatTyler: a platoon of cosplaying "militiamen" armed with whatever weaponry they can carry

up against

a random regular US Army infantry platoon (i.e. no airborne ranger special forces jungle warfare types) carrying a standard TOE load, all of them must be volunteers.

Whoever annihilates the entire other platoon first is the winner.

It should make for a very entertaining 30 minutes or so of fun for the whole family

Your triggered response says we shouldn't trust your supposed knowledge on the subject of 2A. :)

Its purpose is to facilitate a militia-based national defense system. The 2A is completely irrelevant, now.
 
I mean the radio stations play the same 15 Christmas songs over and over. People crowd into stores to buy a bunch of crap that recipients wish you hadn't. You still have christmas tree needles embedded in your carpet and floors from 2007. You have to tell your Trumpy relatives you aren't having a gathering this year only for your clueless Aunt Penny to mess it up and tell them you are. It has definitely lost a little of the fun.

Maybe a return to Saturnalia instead.
 
We enjoy going to Christmas concerts and parties. Shopping at arts & crafts fairs is enjoyable and we get to support some talented local makers. And there’s an annual lighted bike ride that we participate in.

If you’re overly cynical you miss out on good stuff.
