Im sure many people find Christmas and all its imagery offensive. Why do you think there is such a spike in suicides during this time?

Depression rises in many individuals as the cold weather digs in, often to less time outside and less exercise. Also, depression is a problem for many during any holiday season as it is often a time to miss departed loved ones or due to a lack of satisfying relationships or intimacy.
No one ever killed themselves over a santa Furby with a pointed candy cane while listening to the Beach Boys.

Supports the ironic "Christianity Under Fire" spin that the media is developing right now.

Sure, there are people who become depressed this time of the year, no doubt. I feel bad for them. It is a shame that they fall into a deep blue funk to the point that they smoke a .45.
I like this time of the year, not because of the Christmas tree, or the silly and gawdy lights strung up on houses or any of that stuff, but the fact that you can be nice and send someone a present without it looking a bit goofy. You can commit random acts of niceness and simply blame it on the Yuletide time of the year.
Now, evil elf, go and do something nice!

I'm offended that you're offended by my seasonally correct post.

I am not the slightest bit offended at the clear and blantant theft by the Christian Church of the pagan tradition of holiday tree worship...
Copying is the finest form of flattery to be found... and it ain't like its trademarked or anything...
Besides, where would we be, without the yearly antics of our cats getting caught in the tree lights?
oh so christmassy...

can we at least all agree that the Colts' offense rules the planet at this point in time? And actually, the defense looks pretty good, too.
Oh PULEEEZEEEEEEEEE!
Can it be a coincidence that football season and Christmas overlap? The Colts will punish the Seahawks on Christmas Eve, where I'll be sitting in front of a roaring fire, nog in hand, elegantly decorated tree in the corner, basking in the glow of my adoring family.
The Colts will Punish the Seahawks? Now I think, dear sir, you have drunk ENTIRELY too much egg nogg, or have been smoking something santa left in last years stocking! The Seahawks shall give the Colts a little Christmas Cheer right up the kiester....no vaseline included.
