War on Christmas

I'm so sick and tired of hearing about this so called 'War on Christmas'. I live in Austin, the most liberal part of Texas and I still hear people saying 'Merry Christmas' everywhere and no one has a problem with it. Most of my friends and some family aren't even Christians and they don't care if someone else says it or whatever. This is part of the bigger 'us vs. them' bullshit that the media likes to put out there. What's funny is the people that hate the media when it says something against 'their side' but they'll listen to the SAME FUCKING MEDIA about this kind of crap! That's the part I really don't get...that no one's figured out that the media WANTS to create sides so they can have something to report. Maybe, just maybe, one day we'll figure out who the real villain is and ignore them once and for all. Instead of listening to reports on stuff you never actually see or about people you've never met, go with what you do see day in and day out and the peolple you do meet and know. Form and opinion from that for yourself for a change. And now I'm off to go and open presents with my friends in what we call Yule but that is chock full of the Christmas spirit!!!
