HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Let’s take a good look at the state of Christmas in America, also known as day of the jolly fat man. When Ulysses S. Grant signed into law that which established Christmas as a holiday in the 1800’s the U.S. wore their Christianity on its sleeve much more openly. Sure we would have to get over burning witches. Those kooky Salem residents could have used a healthy dose of Samantha and Daren to learn to laugh at being Bewitched! The sitcom was just a little too late for Lizzy Borden.

The average citizen feared God much more than their government historically, unless you include the passage of the tax code. For 80 years the initials I.R.S. were about as feared as the Second Coming! Today we’re afraid of many more things such as Russell Crowe movies, “What’s Happenin’” reruns, and Ernest Borgnine naked. The image of Christmas has lost it’s pizzazz in some circles. No longer are we comforted by the family around the tree as much as a Ferrari in the driveway, and a mistress in the back room.

Extremely progressive organizations will cite the first Article of the U.S. Constitution, selectively. The text says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” and here is the part the radicals forget “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." That means if my religious convictions have me in a ritual involving plastic dolls, leather whips, a shoebox, and a squirrel named Delores, it’s no one’s business; unless of course the playthings belong to a domineering mistress, in which case much frolicking play finds the rodent is afoot.

Organizations like the ACLU would have you believe that exercising religion in public, or on public governmental ground is an establishment of one religion over another. That would be like saying that your marriage vows are more important than the casual fling with a neighbor. This is the 21st century after all! Do they still perform wedding ceremonies?

Since the release of the movie Indecent Proposal where Robert Redford bought Demi Moore from Woody Harrelson for a one night fling, the standards of America have been up for sale to the highest bidder. That’s why the poor are always screaming about the unfair nature of the wealthy. It’s not that the poor are being shafted as much as they are not getting screwed! Any more cultural debauchery, and we’ll become the Roman Empire!

Since 85% of this country identifies themselves as Christian it stands to reason that the vast majority of them will be seen posumously in hell, given the high rate of infidelity among spouses, and sheep herders. Public displays of affection, much like Christmas decorations and the phrase "Merry Christmas" itself, seem to be a no-no in today’s culture. If you can’t ride a wild "Eve" through the snow this Christmas, then I don’t know what the world is coming too!

Take note. There should be no restriction on other faiths displaying the trappings of their religious occasions on public sites. With that kind of thinking, orgies are quite logical. Think of old Rome with its public bath’s, toga wearing citizens, and general nudity. Sounds like a constitutional right to me, but then I’m not a government worker as much as a horny little devil.

Instead of suing for the right to also be included in displays of a religious nature, the AUCLU should sue to allow bare breasted women to express themselves in flamboyant ways. New Orleans perhaps was getting it right with its voodoo practices, transgender dress, homosexual parades, and Mardi Gras party offering loose half-nude people flashing the opposite sex. Then it looks like God put an end to all the frivolity with a little mayhem of his own! C’mon God! How many parents have you heard say “I’d rather my children be exposed to sex than violence?” That was just New Orleans’ motto.

Culturally the phrase "Merry Christmas" is even being cast aside in favor of the phrase "Happy Holidays." Examining this we find that no one is “Merry” anymore, much in the same way that happy people are no longer gay! There is no other sanctioned holiday between Thanksgiving and Christmas so the phrase “Happy Holidays” is not applicable. Just to break up that dry 30 days or so, I suggest another federal holiday for adults only. It could be a swinger’s holiday. Now wouldn’t that be something for philanderers to be merry about? It certainly would give new meaning to the phrase "Thanksgiving" for unsatisfied wives willing to attemt their own fling.

The second officially sanctioned holiday is New Years Day and is quite secular. That has at times become the unofficial swinger’s holiday. Many office workers, friends and acquaintances get together for a pleasant night of dancing, loud music, drunkenness and the like, only to wake up in a strange bed with their college professor’s bride, a hangover pounding their head, and a brazier protruding from their mouth. Now that’s a happy holiday!
