		<description>Well, did Australia join us in fighting the war &quot;over there&quot;?  Maybe that&#039;s why they&#039;re stuck with this war in their own country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good thing we&#039;re fighting a war &quot;over there&quot; so we don&#039;t have a war here in the States.</description>

		<description>I just want to mention it&#039;s called &quot;Santa Claus Day&quot;. For example, when some god nut says &quot;merry christmas&quot;, the correct reply is &quot;Happy Santa Claus Day&quot;. The word christmas or the abbreviated xmas is offensive, because for example the jews don&#039;t like it, maybe because christians murdered 6 million of them. Atheists don&#039;t like it, because jesus is a myth and/or an idiot. I&#039;m guessing the muslims don&#039;t like it, not that I care about people who fly airplanes into buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope the disgusting and offensive word &quot;christmas&quot; becomes obsolete some day, and is replaced with &quot;santa claus day&quot; which is after all why the day is still celebrated. Only morons give a crap about the jesus christ preacher man.</description>

		<description>I enjoyed reading the readers&#039; comments to that article. Especially the one that said &quot;Christmas has been around since the beginning of time...&quot; I guess ignorance isn&#039;t always bliss</description>

		<description>Christmas is an unconstitutional national holiday.....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here in western new york many have already put out their displays of I cant think for myself and I slept through science class (faith)....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Christmas is a state sponsored sanction of a particular religion by it being declared as a national holiday....it is unconstitutional&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>&quot;Ho, Ho, Ho&quot; could offend women? Just women?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That just sounds like some baaaaaad jr high joke&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Why did Mrs Claus slap Santa Claus?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She thought he called her a HO,HO HO?&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and we get blamed for &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; too.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>I&#039;ve been an atheist all my life, and I&#039;ve got nothing against Christmas - not even the word &quot;Christmas&quot; (or the appalling &quot;Xmas&quot;). For me, the word has grown beyond the fairy tale it originated from and now means spend money you haven&#039;t got and eat lots of food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t like the fact that it is an unconstitutional national holiday, any more than any of the other religious holidays. Since we have mothers/fathers days, why not make it &quot;Children&#039;s Day&quot; (which already exists/existed in another form).</description>

		<description>Santa saying, &quot;Ha,Ha,Ha?&quot;  Not gonna happen.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there&#039;s something wrong with a holiday when nearly everybody you talk to says they can&#039;t believe it is Christmas again ALREADY.  I&#039;m with whoever said we ought to combine Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas into HalloThanksMas, but I&#039;d like to go one step further.  Let&#039;s celebrate it only every other year, okay?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Bah-Humbug everybody.</description>
