For several years on OPP, it has been understood that we refrain from insults and "enthusiastic disagreements" on Christmas Day. I see no reason not to continue. As of 12:01 AM Christmas Day, I will bite my tongue for 24 hours. If I can't be polite, I won't say anything.
Nah, I'm not in this year. I may not even look at this place tomorrow. I'll be busy shooting my grandkids with a BB gun anyway.
The truce over a holiday suggestion of non-insult is just what decent people do everyday without making it a big deal; it is not Herculean or even exceptional. The Right apparently finds it so because insult appears to be their only defense. Take away that and they are mum for the holidays. A few too many loaded Egg Nogs and they are left to berate their wives and children.
The holidays are hard, so a friend suggested that I wrap empty boxes and put the names of family members on the tag...each time one misbehaves, toss one of the boxes into the fire. She said that her holiday became very peaceful after the second box went up in flames.
Merry Christmas!

You can be sure her “loved ones” will choose a fine nursing home for her.

What a great way to remind people that presents are given by people and must be earned. Only God's love is freely given without requirements of good behavior. the sooner children learn the difference the sooner they will stop believing that society owes them things just for being there.
