#26-28 Peace, Love & Freedom of Speech
November 28th, 2006
So now you know how much I love the holidays…but you may not know why. I love the holidays because it’s a time of celebrating peace, giving thanks, and loving thy neighbor. And I get to wear rhinestones and gold dust in my hair.
Couldn’t I do these things any old time of the year? Sure. And I do to the best of my ability. But it’s fun to crank it up to eleven during the holiday season - we have so very, very few shared traditions left in this country, it’s a treat to get to participate in something positive with almost 300,000,000 people.*
Of course, there will always be those who just can’t get with the program. There will always be the spiritual Scrooges who can’t see past the end of their stupidity and prejudice.
DENVER, Colorado (AP) — A homeowners’ association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan.
Satanists For Peace? Sounds better than Ignorant Facist Hypocrits for War, I’ll tell ya that.
*Estimated current population of the USA. Yes, I know lots of folks don’t celebrate Christmas in the USA for religious reasons, but most of them do eat a turkey (or Tofurkey) on Thanksgiving so they’re included in my holiday party.

Mo-rons. You’d think her wreath had a freakin’ swastika in it or something!
So…the first thing I see on your blog is the picture of the wreath and I’m instantly thinking that is the coolest wreath ever and I must have one. Then I read the “fine/day” story; that is unbelievably whacked.
That is the coolest wreath ever! I must have one!
Didn’t Stephen Colbert declare that those against the war are doing the Devil’s work?
I think I’ll have to make one of these for my house this year!
