...partake in some social signal preening, you probably need a new way to pass your time and a bit less narcissism.

You know, as long as we're being 'pithy' and all, I figured I might join in the festivities!

((Although in complete fairness, this is about the DUMBEST 'War on Christmas' thing I've ever heard. Coffee cups? Really, guys?))

which I presume is the only thing that they wouldn't consider to be a war on their religious sect.

I love the War on Christmas. I've been on a Truth crusade since I found out there is no Santa Claus. The first thing I did was tell every little kid I knew. I quickly cleansed my surroundings of ignorance. This war never ends as long as anything thinks Santa is real.

What are they whining about? They even have their own ugly sweater now! As an atheist, I'm offended by this sweater!

All humor and satire aside, it is the humor and satire that makes the war on Christmas a fun tradition.

Now, back to the satire. One year I sent out home-made cards with Santa saying "Don't Kill a Tree for Christ's Sake."
