The War on Christmas !
Today I spoke with Kris Kringle himself , aka Santa Claus. We had some small talk since Santa stiffed me back in the 1980's on those classic WWF LJN wrestling figures I always wanted. I wanted all of those figures but was denied. DAMN YOU SANTA !

Anyhow as I spoke with Santa , he discussed the dark times of this war on Christmas. As he said , things look bleak. JCPenny and K-Mart/Sears is going down and sales are being lost nationwide. The Elves can't find cheap consumer toys and good for folks due to this situation. Now with those 2 chains down , Santa may have to reduce the number of Elves working to lower levels. Due to price increases there.
Also with the new healthcare plan Trump has done with an Executive order , he may have to let older Elves go due to Insurance costs. This was bound to happen as Santa had hoped Trump would lower things insurance premium wise. Instead with this , he may lose experienced workers. Kids may end up getting coal now that never expected it.
Finally the biggest worry is that the internet is crippling Santa's business. Usually he delivers toys and good 1 night a year. And now fucking Amazon is able to deliver within days , year round. People are demanding Santa step up his deliver schedule.
All this worry has led Santa to neglect Mrs. Claus as well. As she usually has Santa spend year round getting down to business with her. As she told me the stress has gotten to Mr. Claus and even viagra isn't working well.

So at the end of the day this War on Christmas is hurting the biggest holiday of the year. Its said Santa may contact the Easter Bunny to have him speak with Fox News to try and lean on conservatives to realize there is a war on Christmas and Santa needs their help ! Only you conservatives can help Santa this year. Do it for him !

Early? Pfft! I saw Christmas trees and decorations on display in a Macy's store at the King of Prussia Mall in mid September.

Yep. Christmas stuff has been out in stores since mid-late August and definitely by September 01.
And I saw a a TV commercial for Christmas once in July, then in August. A few times in September.

I have a long standing "[B]Christmas List[/B]" policy since the days I had girlfriends before getting married.
I continue to stipulate (demand) that I be provided a list of things she wants/interested in having by creating a "List" using bookmarks linked to the website of said item. In return I will too will provide a highly detailed suitable ( crap I really want) list for my Xmas gifts.
Then tuck the whole thing under a folder marked,[B] "GOLGO 13'S 2017 CHRISTMAS EXTRAGANZA"[/B]. The idea is that I never want to hear, "...I don't know what sort of things you want, so I got you this instead..."
What sheer nonsense. I have no problem letting people know what I want for Christmas, so here is my list. Time to get cracking.
Also, when family ask her what do I want for Xmas she can offer my suggestions down to size, color & flavor profile.
I always win my, "War On Christmas". Every damn year.

Plus, how long does it take some places to set up these displays if they wait and do them all at one time? It can be a[B][FONT=Comic Sans MS] damned if you do, damned if you don't [/FONT][/B]battle.

If there is a war on Christmas, Christmas is winning.

As long as there's no war on Halloween I'm fine

Not at all. Everyone likes to receive, open Holiday presents yes?
Well, my way ensures that everyone gets something they really want, and don't we all want to give & receive the "perfect" gift? Of course we do.
I think I'm 21-0 in my [B]"WAR ON CHRISTMAS"[/B]

Oh, I know.
But a few commercials were for companies that sold Christmas Trees or Christmas Products, so they would have room for all of their merchandise, especially since most orders don't come in till later.
Many years my Christmas shopping is completed by Summer and wrapped by Labor Day.
Personally, I really don't mind seeing the commercials so "early"!
Also, I love "Christmas in July" too!
