Baby Jesus is Crying
Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 3:54PM I was buying props for The Brave New Workshop Saves the Planet; or, Yes We Can, But Do We Have To? when I ran across this sign...
Seriously? It's July 16th! And it "began" five days ago?!
I never thought I'd say this, but Christmas must be stopped. If anyone sees a claymation deer trying to save Christmas this early in the year, shoot it with extreme prejudice. For too long we have approached Christmas with a policy of appeasement--just like Neville Chamberlain did with Hitler--and now it's occupying the Rhineland. Will it take the Rape of Belgium for us to recognize what Christmas is doing?
When Christmas came for Thanksgiving, I did not stand up. When it came for Halloween, I did not stand up. When it came for National Executive Assistant's Appreciation Day, I did not stand up. And when it finally came for my birthday, there was no one left to stand up.
This is where we draw a line in the sand. This is where we fight. This is where they die. This is the Rubicon that shall not be crossed. This is where I mix metaphors from numerous different military conflicts. This...is...July 16th! Spartans?! Are you with me?!
