Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, December 25, 2011

A photo essay from CBS News shows celebrants of Christmas all over the world, from India to Bethlehem to Belarus, where men dressed as Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) and women as Snegurochka (Snow Maiden). On a sadder note, Syrian Christians "have decided to cancel celebrations and only observe Christmas mass," CBS News reports.

You are such a sad little person.

Ho, ho, ho, y'all.

The program began on December 24, 1955 when a Sears department store placed an advertisement in a Colorado Springs newspaper which told children that they could telephone Santa Claus and included a number for them to call. However, the telephone number printed was incorrect and calls instead came through to Colorado Springs' Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Center. Colonel Shoup, who was on duty that night, told his staff to give all children that called in a "current location" for Santa Claus. A tradition began which continued when the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) replaced CONAD in 1958

Christmas trivia, but I always thought that was pretty cool.

Have a very happy invisible man day you all.....

I hope Santa nukes Skippy's hovel

Merry Christmas to all!

You should go work at a soup kitchen or make PBJ sandwiches for the homeless and pass them out at the 12th street bridge in San Diego.

It will give you something to cheer about.

Thousands Enjoy Merry Christmas in Bethlehem

Tens of thousands of tourists and Christian pilgrims packed the West Bank town of Bethlehem for Christmas Eve celebrations Saturday, bringing warm holiday cheer to the traditional birthplace of Jesus on a raw, breezy and rainy night.

With turnout at its highest in more than a decade, proud Palestinian officials said they were praying the celebrations would bring them closer to their dream of independence.

Bethlehem, like the rest of the West Bank, fell onto hard times after the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation broke out in late 2000. As the fighting has subsided in recent years, the tourists have returned in large numbers.

By late night, the Israeli military, which controls movement in and out of town, said some 100,000 visitors, including foreigners and Arab Christians from Israel, had reached Bethlehem, up from 70,000 the previous year.

Thousands of Palestinians from inside West Bank also converged on the town.

Merry Christmas goat. By the way, speaking of Santa I was just wondering if you've ever seen any real UFO's/USO's in the gulf region?

When I was an air controller in the U.S. Navy, we intercepted a few once. One of the most amazing days of my life actually.

I know my experience isn't unique and you spend a lot of time out there so I thought to ask.

Merry Christmas, Drudgies!

Maybe some day Christians will outgrow this pagan holiday of the birth of the sun.

Bethlehem, like the rest of the West Bank, fell onto hard times after the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation broke out in late 2000. As the fighting has subsided in recent years, the tourists have returned in large numbers.

Anyone wonder if Jesus's birthplace would still be held holy if the Islamics were in charge of it?

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Go to hell all of you.

Merry Christmas Morning, ALL!
Time for coffee with Bailey's.
Ahhhh, Christmas morning.

I hope everyone is enjoying their

And maybe some pagans will learn when the Winter Soltice is.

Merry Christmas, RAY. If I've ever met anyone who needs Christmas, it's you.

Republican santa doesn't like it that little billy has two mommies....

Obviously Truthteller101 never got that Barbi doll he wanted so bad for Christmas when he was 15. Now all he can do is cry for negative attention. Look at me, look at me, My daddy touched me when I was a little girl. Blah, blah, blah. A little cheese with your whine cumdump?

And maybe some pagans will learn when the Winter Soltice is.

Maybe some day Christians will learn that the sun Christ died on the solstice, the darkest day of the year. And was reborn three days after on the 25th, the first day when daylight started to increase.

I'm in Fargo-Moorhead on the Minnesota-North Dakota border. I'm about three hours from the Canadian border.

WE HAVE NO SNOW!

My brother, a Rush listener, looked outside last night and said, "I may have to rethink this whole global warming thing..." And then consoled himself with Christmas cookies and eggnog with Bailey's.

Hope your Christmas was a little more white.

Merry Christmas y'all!!

Merry Xmas.

Suckers. LOL

Anyone wonder if Jesus's birthplace would still be held holy if the Islamics were in charge of it?

Yes, it will, because it's a holy city to Muslims as well.

And the Muslims were in charge of it for most of it's history.

And will be again.

All that while, it never lost it's "holiness" for any religion.

"Anyone wonder if Jesus's birthplace would still be held holy if the Islamics were in charge of it?"

Since jeebus is nothing but a myth for the pathetically stupid, who gives a fuck?

Yes, Truthy, we heard you the first six times. You think Christmas is stupid, and conservatives are evil. Got it.

You're a homo, right?

Hey, Tosspot...you told me Muslims didn't do this kinda shit! You told me they just fought in DEFENSE. I didn't fall for it though because anyone with any sense KNOWS better. Anybody wearing a towel on his head who fucks camels and wipes his ass with his bare left hand is not to be trusted! (How do you get shit out from under your fingnails anyway?)

?(Reuters) - Five bombs exploded on Christmas Day at churches in Nigeria, one killing at least 27 people, raising fears that Islamist militant group Boko Haram - which claimed responsibility - is trying to ignite sectarian civil war.

Boko Haram, which wants to impose Islamic sharia law across a country of 160 million split roughly between Christians and Muslims, has increased the sophistication of the explosives it uses this year and has increased the number of its attacks."

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanakkuh! Solstice greetings! Be happy, live well, treat your fellow creatures well. Spread joy. Smile. Sing. Dance. Eat. Drink and be a source of happiness on this and every other day of the year. Visit the imprisoned. Comfort the sick. Share the abundance of your life. Respect those with whom you disagree. Embrace those with whom you agree. Today, life is good. Celebrate!

It's people like you who think I would be impressed by your pissing against the wind.

How about farting in a mitten? Everybody likes farts, even Pakistani's.

No... I did not say that.

I did say, you must have some anger issues on Xmas.

People in America are said to commit suicide at this time of the year... maybe because they are alone?

What? You have nobody? LOL

What are you doing here anyway? Like I said... get off the internet and join the real world! Go celebrate with your family.... if you have one.

How about farting in a mitten?

Ask "Jest". He seems to be the expert here. LOL

You can't do it every day, but Christmas lasts longer than a day. Exhausting preparations make the holiday extravagantly easy and FUN. Smorgasboard living for a couple of weeks. The only things I heat up are the glog, meatballs and sometimes a new batch of baby dilled potatoes. These rituals promote time together that would not happen otherwise.

A proper heathen celebration of the years production when the farm needs no attention. Commandeered by the Christian Church's, because of its popularity, but you can find meaning in it anyway you choose. That's a right we still have here and I'm glad for that.

It's Xmas and this guy gets into an ugly mood....

Hey guy! I am not responsible for your wife leaving you or whatever shit you are going through.

If you are going to jump off that ledge, do it already! LOL

Post 87 is for "Jesteatingshit".

Christmas and the "Christmas spirit"... what a load of hooey....

"Everybody likes farts, even Pakistani's."

If they fart they have to perform ablution...go wash their assholes. Maybe all their farts are wet ones...ya' think?

Can't even respond to a Merry Xmas.... fucking Americans.

If they fart they have to

Angry guy, trying to be funny!

But not working.

"Can't even respond to a Merry Xmas.... fucking Americans."

We harbor serious doubts about your sincerity. In short, we'd have to be nuts to trust anything you say...that pretty much applies to all Muslims.

"Fuck the United bloody motherfucking States of bloody America.

And fuck your Christmas."

NOW we belive we're seeing the real TOSSER.

And fuck your Christmas.

And fuck your deity as well...

At least we get NBA all day so it's not a total waste.

So true life's too short to be bitter..

Been running around shopping and visiting, spent way too much this past couple of weeks but the grandkids and the rest of the family is happy. We're having a really wonderful, if warm, holiday here in S. Florida, hope y'all are too. Happy 2012 everyone!

Nobody gives a shit. I hope you choke on your Christmas dinner.

Jackass, something worse happened: yesterday the wife and I both had a nasty stomach flu. The baby went to grandmas and we spent Christmas eve apart :(

My Christmas dinner is going to be toast, so there is a low choking risk.

I'm choking down a TV dinner... Yea a mexician one, its not bad..

Merry Christmas Danforth! Keep on not moving those goal posts!

I had some Top Ramen. What a wonderful fucking day. Oh and Butthole I'm glad your sick. It put a smile on my face.

/Obligatory.

Be Well.

You know, I'm not a religious person, don't buy the whole God thing and such but at the same time I'm not ready to continually insult the religious people out there either. If you think about it, if it weren't for the Jews, Christians, Buddhists, and other religions out there, there would be very few humans on this Earth and we would be struggling on a daily basis to survive. We would still be living a-la the 1st or 2nd century.

It's funny how the ones that throw the most insults towards religion would have been the first to have their ancestral lines eliminated because they expected the rest of us to feed and shelter them.

So if people need to believe in a God or a Savior, fine let them, chances are instead of begging for people to pay attention to and love them they know the true joy in life is being able to love and have someone to share it with.

Obvious something the Truthtellers and Jackasses out there will never know. It's not the non-believers that are bitter, it's the non-believers that crave to be the center of attention that are the bitter ones. Apparently having parents that didn't believe in celebrating Christmas and birthdays has left some people very bitter indeed.

But hey, at least you have frozen dinners and Raman noodles.

Merry Christmas

Chalk it up to a bad day? He'll be back. I think he actually does care about us, and will feel bad later.

And we'll all welcome him back, won't we?

Tosser, if you're mad about the blow up doll I'll understand. I didn't know you'd find that Japanese thing so displeasing.

I would have preferred to be with my granddaughters, but the extra money I made on the rig just today will be enough to pay for a ski trip for my son and his family (my granddaughters) when I get back on shore. Plus we got an iPad from the rig and leather bomber style jackets from the client. That's not counting the dinner of whole roasted pig, king crab legs, leg of lamb, and a couple of dozen other items made it not too shabby.

So Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all

I am legally eligible for adoption ... with both parents deceased and all.

I'm not gonna bother to read the thread, though there are probably some kind sentiments, maybe even between DR rivals (which is always nice to see). I just popped in to offer holiday warmth. If Christmas is your thing, I hope it was great (ours was!). If you don't celebrate Christmas, well, you get positive energy anyway!

And Happy New Year, folks! May we all (across the nation) find common ground more often and with more meaning than we seem to have recently.
