[Nancj]

Mince pie??
personally I love the more rounder Santas, more to hug!!

[SantaPaws]

I think they would take it serious if Santa had a Gold tooth and silver rims. And said Yo Yo Yo, instead. They are just crazy.

[Sickie Ickie]

Not mine, but I think this sums it up nicely:

'Twas The (Politically Correct) Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck...
How to live in a world that's politically correct?
His workers no longer would answer to "Elves".
"Vertically Challenged" they were calling themselves.
And labor conditions at the north pole
Were alleged by the union to stifle the soul.

Four reindeer had vanished, without much propriety,
Released to the wilds by the Humane Society.
And equal employment had made it quite clear
That Santa had better not use just reindeer.

So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid,
Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked stupid!

The runners had been removed from his sleigh;
The ruts were termed dangerous by the E.P.A.
And people had started to call for the cops
When they heard sled noises on their roof-tops.

Second-hand smoke from his pipe had his workers quite frightened.
His fur trimmed red suit was called "Unenlightened."

And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs and flows,
Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his nose
And had gone on Geraldo, in front of the nation,
Demanding millions in over-due compensation.

So, half of the reindeer were gone; and his wife,
Who suddenly said she'd enough of this life,
Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a whiz,
Demanding from now on her title was Ms.

And as for the gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a notion
That making a choice could cause so much commotion.
Nothing of leather, nothing of fur,
Which meant nothing for him. And nothing for her.

Nothing that might be construed to pollute.
Nothing to aim. Nothing to shoot.
Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.
Nothing for just girls. Or just for the boys.

Nothing that claimed to be gender specific.
Nothing that's warlike or non-pacific.



No candy or sweets...they were bad for the tooth.
Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth.
And fairy tales, while not yet forbidden,
Were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden.

For they raised the hackles of those psychological
Who claimed the only good gift was one ecological.

No baseball, no football...someone could get hurt;
Besides, playing sports exposed kids to dirt.
Dolls were said to be sexist, and should be passe;
And Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.

So Santa just stood there, disheveled, perplexed;
He just could not figure out what to do next.

He tried to be merry, tried to be gay,
you've got to be careful with that word today.
His sack was quite empty, limp to the ground;
Nothing fully acceptable was to be found.

Something special was needed, a gift that he might
Give to all without angering the left or the right.
A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision,
Each group of people, every religion;

Every ethnicity, every hue,
Everyone, everywhere...even you.
So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth...
"May you and your loved ones enjoy peace on earth."

ohhhh that was tooo good Sickie Ickie.clapping. I've gotta show my wife! she's gonna love it.you make that?

[Secret Santa]

That was too funny sickie ...

[gingerbreadhouse]

That is sickning:mad::mad::mad:

[gingerbreadhouse]

If santa can not be heavy, Then why can mcdonalds use an evil clown to trick kids into eating their poor exscuse for food. This world is becoming scary. I put a cross on my roof for christmas, But scince I do a haunt for halloween people say I am A hipocryt.
And somebody comented that my negtivity stable was built out of pallets, and it was degreading to god. I better stop my saelf or I could go on all day. I am sorry about the bad grammer I am just so mad. I'm sure if a do build a mega tree someone will call the city and say that it is to tall. Oh and I have little elfe cut outs that I put around my yard, but pretty soon I will have to stop that because it will be degrading to little people. Ok now I am done.

[XMASBB70]

That just doesn't make any sense......... Santa is "HO, HO, HO", even in French! Sometimes, I'm a little sick of all this politically correct world we live in...... How can someone be so stupid that they would think Santa was calling them a "ho" when greeting little ones??? I'll stop here, I don't want to offend anyone.....

[Sickie Ickie]

LOL Perhaps we should call this Christmas rants? For a humorous rant (with some alternative language) Foamy has somethingto say about people spoiling Christmas: YouTube - Foamy - No christmas for you :D

Thanks, Childofthenight!

[Mother_hen]

[SantaPaws]

[Mistress Muffy]
