Christmas-time is here.

[Buddy]

Now that December is here, it is easier to be in the Christmas spirit. Even the music is a bit more bearable.

I take it everyone knows this gem by Tom Lehrer?

I'd never even heard of him before -- things just haven't changed at all in 50 years, have they?  And while I was enjoying that, I came across this terribly un-PC vid that made me laugh like a hyena: All I want for Xmas is Jews

Is resistance futile, or is that restricted to the Borg?

I'm not sure, I know it is useless to resist a Vogon, or at least that's what they claim.

I have some second hand info from Asmodean's hitchhiker cousin, that if you turn to clay and pretend to be a rock, they won't notice you. Then you can stab them in the eye.

I think you look more like a blob of putty than a rock.
It's dangerous to look like a blob of putty in the presence of a Vogon.
They may recite some poetry at you.
Perhaps your cousin doesn't like you, wishes you harm and covets your lair.
The only defence against Vogon poetry is gnawing off one of your limbs, so you'd be doomed.

Putty. Putty. Putty.
   Green Putty - Grutty Peen.
   Grarmpitutty - Morning!
   Pridsummer - Grorning Utty!
   Discovery..... Oh.
   Putty?..... Armpit?
   Armpit..... Putty.
   Not even a particularly
   Nice shade of green.

I'd rather be a Vogon than a blob
Yes I would, if I only could,
Blah,blah ...

Can those clean houses? Dust off the Christmas tree? Bring me the phone at my bidding and fan my dog when the room temperature makes her uncomfortable?

Might make a good clothes-hanger, at least...

They can disintegrate all things that collect dust, destroy your phone and exterminate your dog, so that you don't need anything to do all those things.

1. Do you celebrate Christmas/any of the other winter Decemberish (sorry about that, southern Hemisphere) holidays? Whether you do or you don't: Ever gotten flak for it?

Joulu as we call it is mandatory (hey, Santa lives here! What else are we going to do? And the heck with North Pole and baby Jeebus!), at least to me it has always been. It's one of those days where the whole family get's together and enjoy some good food, have a blast with no worries about everyday problems and, of course, exchange gifts, becase that's what it's all about

And no, I have never recived any critic from anyone. If some did laugh or look at me oddly for celebrating Joulu, he'd be the looney, not me

2. If you don't... how do you maintain your sanity during the season? (Not a diss. Honest question.)

Video games have always safeguarded my sanity from any silly religious undertones

3. Since this is a religious holiday, and a lot of us have religious family and friends: how do you keep the peace during the holidays?

As I've mentioned before on occasion, we don't talk about religion in our family. It just isn't one of the topics to ever pop up. None of my family are "true believers" by any defenition, so we can concentrate on what's important about this holiday (though I think my grandparents still go to xmas church, and I have gone to listen xmas songs in there....what? I like music. Sue me.).

4. If us evil atheists with our evil atheist agenda successfully secularize/steal Christmas, what should we rename it?

Joulu works fine for me :p

I'll go with that as well, if someone tells me how to pronounce it.

I would, but I have't practiced any Finnish in a long time.
