Raving Atheists Christmas 2017
 
http://www.poetryring.com/ra/Xmas201...der.Lights.gif

Christmas time is upon us once more. Christmas is a time for reflection on the miracle which is our own existence. It is a time for introspection, a frosted window of opportunity to peer into the twinkling Christmas lights of our memories. We may find the warmth of nostalgia beside the firesides of our hearts, or we may discover a frozen winter there, and a need to kindle the Yule log of our passions once more. It is time for us to confront the ghosts of Christmas past.

http://www.poetryring.com/ra/Xmas201...-xmas-past.jpg

Cast off those chains you have forged throughout the year! Rise up, you jolly elves! Lift up your voices with me, and let us sing the tidings of great joy! What Christmas glories we have witnessed! What tender Christmas memories brighten our winter eves!

http://www.gardenofpoetry.com/ra/Xma...ated-gif-3.gif

Set sail we, across the seas of eternal darkness! Riding upon the waves of cosmic light! Lead onward, oh, Captain Santa! Hell may resist our Christmas cheer, but festooned will be the bodies of the Christmas casualties, with glorious LED bulbs from China. Ride, Captain, ride upon your Christmas Ship!

http://www.gardenofpoetry.com/ra/Xma..._3840x2160.jpg

Avast, ye scurvy scalawags! One Reply to "Strike yer Christmas colors, ye bloomin' cockroachers!" Santa will have your lily liver on his candy cane before the Christmas mouse feeds on plum cake crumbs. Santa will shove presents up yer bums, until ye succumbs to the joy of the season. This is the reason for the season! Oh, come all ye faithful! Let's us discover the glory holes of Christmas together!

Ghosts of Raving Atheist Christmas Past
 
So, has it really been three years since last we celebrated a Raving Atheist Christmas? Father Time has slipped a couple of sneaky ones in the back door, right down the chimney, without us feeling Christmas go in or come out!

Rudolph and the Rabbits
 
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, at our house. The other night, Sweetie Pie and Sugarcane came into the food giant's house, and watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

http://www.gardenofpoetry.com/Fashio...Rabbits-2s.jpg

It’s a very nice Christmas movie, about a flying reindeer that has a red nose. I am not sure if it is a true story. I'm pretty sure the Bible says something about it.

http://www.gardenofpoetry.com/Fashio...Rabbits-3s.jpg

It has a scary monster, that becomes a nice Christmas monster later. Bumble reminds me a lot of the god of the Old Testament who becomes a nice god, later, in the New Testament. I wonder if Bumble could really be God.

http://www.gardenofpoetry.com/Fashio...Rabbits-4s.jpg

It has a happy ending, because Rudolph gets to help Santa deliver presents for Christmas. Have a holly, jolly Christmas!

http://www.gardenofpoetry.com/Fashio...Rabbits-5s.jpg

Then Sugarcane and Sweetie Pie were nestled back in their beds, in their happy bunny house, with visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads. Good night, bunnies! Merry Christmas!

Christmas can kiss my fucking hairy ballsack. I have no interest to partake in the annual fucked up festival of greed, hypocricy, overspending and general bad taste. The legions of already fat fuckers will go about cramming their bloated pie-holes with the regulation grease, junk, booze & stodgy sweet shite.

A fortune will be spent on boatloads of chinese-made crap that nobody wants - Hallmark will shift shitloads of fucking retarded cards that never see a recycling bin, and why the fuck anybody wants to stuff a tree in the house & cover it in balls is beyond me. Thankfully, I don't own a tele so it's easy to avoid the flood of seasonal shite, repeats, Jesusy wank and the fucking queen's bullshit speech. And don't start me on the fucking months of torture that masquerades as music!

The whole fuck-fest is nothing more than a huge con, aimed at getting the gormless fuckheads of the population to spend spend and spend again till the next commercial shit wagon comes around. I fucking hate it and can't wait for some semblance of normality to return. Bollocks to it all!

What idiot decided the end of December was a good time to be forced to use up some of our precious holiday allowance? We could have a wonderful christmas break in June or July instead, & people wouldn't have to waste so much electricity on decorations either. The Australians have the right idea. Xmas according to season is the call!

Roll on easter :vomit:.

Well, now! It looks like somebody needs to put Mr. Hanky in his mouth, and try to say, "Ho, ho, ho and yum, yum, yum! Christmas time has come!"


http://www.gardenofpoetry.com/ra/Xma...15hankypoo.gif

Put something sweet in your mouth. Hang up some shiny shit! Get up off your grinchy ass, and fucking celebrate!

In winter, it gets dark in the north, really fucking dark. In the morning, it is dark. In the evening, it is ding dong merrily on high, really goddamn dark. Always fucking dark!

Hanging up shiny stuff, and telling everybody that they are full of joy, and that it is the most wonderful time of the year, was a really clever idea.


It beats sitting here, drinking whiskey in the dark, until we all hang ourselves from the pine trees.


The Merriest of Christmases to you!

“And it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!”

The annual guilt trip is worth enforcing I suppose, even just as a reminder of what your family's like. Yes we love you!

In many cases it is an enforced holiday. Where are all the no religious interference crowd?

Sugarcane is Santa’s elf!
 
http://www.gardenofpoetry.com/Fashio...hristmas-2.JPG

He is Santa’s elf,
Resting by himself.
Filling his tummy
with anything yummy,
He is Santa’s elf.
He works hard all day,
But his work is play.
Hay he will try out,
Swallow or spit out.
He is Santa’s elf!


Ho ho ho.

Merry Christmas!

A December Night

On a December night,
Hushed and blanketed white,
We crunched out across the snow,
Pulling our sleds as fast as we could go,
The heavenly flakes floating around,
Spreading more blanket on the ground,
Our pant legs stiff and creaking,
We, like wandering shepherds, seeking
A sign, something divine,
Beyond a field afar,
A snow-covered hill,
A ride, a thrill.

We might find it again, by and by,
Were we to seek, were we to try.

~ Daniel F Mitchell

We might find it again, by and by,
Were we to seek, were we to try.

I Believe in Christmas Eve

The spirit here I think I see,
Reflected from the Christmas tree,
Across the crisp December snow –
A beacon of security.

Watching from my frosted window,
I think that, finally, I know
Why I believe in Christmas Eve –
That light that makes a pine tree glow.

Safe in this silent-night reprieve
From a troubled world, I believe
In peace on earth, good will to all.
Here, it is easy to achieve.

Watching herald angels fall,
As snow beyond my glistening wall,
I wait for Santa Claus to call.
And like a child, I feel so small.

As if the holiday couldn't have been any worse, I was on the edge of death from man-flu for the whole miserable week.

Smellyoldgit 01-02-2018 12:09 PM

Man-flu is preferable to the sanctimonious drivel the christmas lovers spew.
I did succeed at "Whamageddon" this year - avoided recognising their seasonal flop "This Christmas" for a whole month!

Davin 01-03-2018 06:43 AM

I was able to avoid most of the Christmas music, and for some stupid reason yesterday, the shop was still playing Christmas music.

Hah! Beat this for a Merry Christmas. Christmas day and I'm trapped in this hospital bed since Nov. 13.
One of those inflated beds with a matress that lets you slide around with ease. Great fun when they're changing your diaper. Anyway, what's this I hear - OMG, it's a Sally Ann Brass band, out in the hallway playing their repertoire of Christmas shopping music. Cheerist, but this has gotta be the most magic Xmas ever! Good thing there's a dress code for my room - gown and rubber gloves, or they might have gotten closer!
Finally, the serenade ceased. Bet they went home feeling all goody and having brightened the day of the geriatrics. Frankly, the screams of agony accompanying the therapies and treatments are almost as melodic.

:rock:

Davin 01-22-2018 07:38 AM

I guess they love captive audiences. I wonder if they also abduct people and then play the music for them in order to keep getting their fix the rest of the year.
