Bah, humbug; let other bloggers' post cheerful, reverent, and grateful notes today — I am all three of those, but I have an image to maintain, so I'll focus on the annoying and pestilent.

(Besides, it’s more fun.) That said, I do wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

War on Christmas 2025: The Red-Green Alliance (Not the Festive Color Scheme)

The war against Christmas and the legacy Western culture it represents rages on. Here’s the news from the front.

Hijab lady issues anti-Christmas tree fatwa

Before any Muslim comes to me in the comments and tells me [putting up Christmas trees] is part of British culture and it’s okay, please go and do your research. Honestly, if the reverts can do it… honestly, you have no excuses. And if you’re that Muslim that was going to put up a tree this year, please take it as your sign… You do not have to exchange gifts, you do not have to put up a Christmas tree, you don’t have to do any of it. Honestly, take it as a day off.

*”Revert” is a term that Muslim propagandists use to refer to converts, intended to convey that everyone is a natural Muslim and thus “conversion” is actually “reversion’ to the natural state of submission to Allah. 

Honestly, as a rule of thumb, you can’t trust anyone who inserts “honestly” unnecessarily into every other sentence out of their mouths.

Not satisfied to not put them up in their own homes, apparently the sight of Christmas trees in public is even too much for the migrants to tolerate, ironically, in the tolerant and multicultural EU, as the Brussels bureaucrats are always banging on about.

A now a word from the covetous and lazy. Pro-tip: if you’re buying a single, $500 gift for your child, you aren’t marshalling your resources wisely.

‘I hate Christmas,’ declares septum piercing girl in TikTok video

“Leftists and migrants, as we’ll see, are of one mind on the Christmas issue.

…. [D]oes everything have to be politicized? Must every holiday be run through the Social Justice™ prism, so that a day commemorating Jesus’ birth becomes a class war battlefield?”

I'm literally sitting at f***ing work, trying not to lose my f***ing s**t because I am so over this g****mn holiday. I hate Christmas! I f***in' HATE it. And if you're f***in poor, you probably also hate Christmas because this is a f***in rich people holiday and it's impossible to enjoy if you don't have f***in money. Someone came in here today and told me that they spent $500 on a light up deer. What? What? I'm literally struggling to pay for the one thing my child wants for Christmas, which is $500, and people are spending that on f***in decor.

Oops! Forgot to add this one, noted in TownHall: Politico’s editors complain that conservatives are ruining the Left’s favorite secular holiday:
