I can't be the only one in the Backroom who doesn't give a rat's rectum about the 'holy-days'. How about a show of solidarity for no good reason?

This is clearly part of the War on Christmas, a covert operation funded by the Hillary Clinton, Scrooge and the Grinch!

Re: The Humbug Thread
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go.
Take a look in a Backroom thread
Where Scrooges express their dread
"Bah Humbug!" to the Christmas lights and snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Joy abounds much more
But the queasiest sight I'll see
Is the happiness it brings
To the old dot Org.
I don't give a hoot
If I'm given the boot
'Cuz I swore in a post again.
Mods that won't balk
And say "go take a walk!"
When we engage in ad hominem.
Anything to make us forget
It's Christmas time again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go.
Green Peace is in the Grand Hotel
To protest the tree there felled
A killing rite for Christmas lights to show.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon all hell will start.
People singing their Christmas songs
Make this time of year all wrong
In my old cold heart.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you Humbuggers out there.

I like the holidays. Especially the part about extra pay for working on them.
If you're fighting fair you've made a miscalculation.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Re: The Humbug Thread
I like the holidays, I just hate the constant bombardment of christmas music everywhere I go and the long lines at all stores when I just want to get something for a practical purpose.
I think Gorebag is just sore that the Backroom will probably be closed like it is everyyear for the holidays. Speaking of which I haven't seen the snow layout yet.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

Not really, Spmguy.
In other Humbug news, I'll be breaking a rule of my own making and drinking English beer this season.

Hey hey , last years mid-winter brew from that brewery was called "bah humbug".Festive Spirits - 4.8% ABV
Wychwood’s Anti-Christmas Brew, featuring Scrooge, for those who Don’t do Christmas!
Available: December 2006
Malt: Crystal, Black
Hops: Fuggles, Goldings
Rich roast malts and dark brown sugars are blended to provide full well-rounded flavour, reminiscent of dried fruits and Christmas cake. The balance of sweet and bitterness satisfies the palate with a huge array of flavours.
To Christmas, we say Bah Humbug!
The old fella brought a crate of it with him for me last year when he came home for Christmas .
I wonder if I will get this one this year (along with the usual selection of British ales) . I certainly need plenty of alcohol to put up with him and his crazy dogs for 5 weeks .
Anyway , bugger Christmas . I told the kids last week that I had shot Santa and Rudolph is for dinner .

I don't know why I find this so funny.
Re: The Humbug Thread

Or both?

Re: The Humbug Thread
Christmas is simply yet another example of how Western Culture misses the point.
I'm not even religious and the amount of marketing/shopping/complaining that goes on this time of year drives me crazy.
I have only one rule for buying christmas gifts. If you don't believe in Santa, you get NOTHING from me.

Do you think the gift giving tradition started with Santa?

Re: The Humbug Thread
I've inherrited my dad's utter contempt for Christmas. Presents are all well and good, but all the tat that comes with them is just silly. It should be a low-key, minimalist event for Christians to thank the lord, and for the rest of us to just shut up and carry on as normal.
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
