Should Christmas be a National Holiday ??

[Peaches]

Are ANY of the US National Holidays truly celebrated as they were originally meant to be? Labor Day? Memorial Day? Columbus Day? Thanksgiving? MLK Day? I mean, c'mon - it's a free day off for 99.9% of the population - not much more.

Who the FUCK cares?

It's a holliday that has been around since before any of us, (except maybe Sarettah and PD) just like religion.

If you don't fucking like Christmas then don't celebrate it, but also, don't bitch about it if others do. There are many hollidays that I don't think need to be celebrated but you don't see me or many others bitching and moaning about it.

People have to much time on their hands when they start bitching about hollidays, and rather the National Anthem should be sung in schools.

This comment I like.

The clash of tiny ecumenical swords gets old. The Constitution is so out the window we've got a shitload more to worry about than whether having Christmas as a National Holiday is declaring a US Religion. Which, yes, all of you who so stated, it does. As does swearing on the Bible in court; the engravings on judicial buildings; our currency; yadda yadda on and on.

So...who the fuck cares? Apparently...nobody.

As some black comedian said long ago (was it Eddie Murphy? probably) ... It basically went like this:

"Shit yeah, I'd go for a KKK national holiday. Another day off, hopefully with pay. Hell yeah! I'll be home and even give a toast -- "Happy Fucking Birthday Grand Fucking Wizard Mother Fucker, and t'anks fo' the day off, ya dog-fucking bastard." -- And then go watch me some football."
