The only thing I have to say is, pardon the language.....

Bull-f*****g-s**t!!

No pansy-assed mediot is gonna tell me I can’t celebrate Christmas!

Christmas is about the Birth of Christ.
That’s a done deal.
Even Faggot Fauci can’t cancel it.

As for “The Holidays”. Who cares? Less secular materialism is a Good Thing. Especially since those who have been promoting the naked greed, selfishness, and materialism every December are the same ones who have screwed over Trump and supported Democraps and the deep state for years. Let them go broke.

Send him a lump of coal and anger him twice.

They can attempt to use force to stop real Americans from preserving the family bonds that make life worth living. It’s their choice. If they are prudent, they will back down.

The sissy half of the country will obey a suggestion. The normal half of the country will disobey even a direct order. The thugs who dream of ruling should stop at a suggestion.

[cranked]

Do as I say, not as I do.

Bet these Leftist idiots celebrate Christmas in earnest.......

Back in December 1977, I was separated from my then husband. I had been a stay-at-home Mom, but in order to survive, I had to go back to work, so to re-introduce myself into the working world, I took assignments with an employment agency. I was living with my two sons about 2 1/2 hours away from the rest of my family who lived in Rochester, New York. Because I wanted to spend the holidays with my parents, I asked for a few days off from the agency. They refused to give it to me, so I told them I was taking the time anyway. They cancelled my contract with them. I spent the holidays with my parents, and the rest of the family. Then in May of 1978, my father was diagnosed with lung cancer, and died in June of that same year.

All these years later, and with the Democrats calling for people to socially distance themselves from the rest of their family for the holidays, I was reminded of my own experience of having to make a decision of visiting my family, or keeping a job. As it turned out, 1977 was the last Christmas I got to spend with my father, and I know I made the right decision when I'd been faced with it. Any one who decides to forego spending the holidays with their family because of the virus, needs to remember, that one of those family members might not be here the next time those holidays roll around. I am the last one left in my family. I have my two sons, but only one lives close enough to come for the holidays. The youngest lives in Indiana, and hasn't been able to get back home because of cancer surgery, and chemo treatments last year, along with residual side effects of those treatments, so I travel out there to see him when I can.

Does not appear to affect his holiday?

[CJ Wolf]

That is amazing comparison. Now I have to watch the whole thing, bravo on that find!

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly...

[LeoTDB69]

Next April 15, “I’m sorry, we just can’t do taxes this year, covid and all ya know, maybe next year.”

[P.O.E.]

[livius]

A good reminder that people are always first. You can get anything else back again, but not people. Glad you did that! I wish more people would think about your story.

[Patriot_MP]

If visiting Charlottesville... One would have no idea a pandemic is going on...tons of traffic up & down HWY 29... People out & about...

[rarestia]

Funny... the retailers aren’t having any problem slopping their politically correct advertising BS all over the Internet and TV. Perhaps they didn’t get the memo? Are they all going “on a list” as well?

[Ban Draoi Marbh Draoi]

Exactly.

No one can cancel Christ; they can try but in the end He will have the last laugh.

If you visited family for Thanksgiving despite COVID-19, here’s what you need to do today!

Tony Bizjak The Sacramento Bee Nov 30, 2020 Updated 31 min a

COVID-19

Tony Bizjak: The Sacramento Bee:Health officials implored people not to gather over Thanksgiving with family, amid a surge in COVID-19 cases that is crowding hospitals, leaving some understaffed. But hundreds of thousands of California residents did so anyway, saying the moment with family was precious enough to take the risk.

Now, those health officials have another request:

Anyone who gathered in a family setting this past weekend should assume for the moment that they have the virus. That means quarantining for 14 days. Call it penance for your indulgence, they say.

Health officials say they fear that Thanksgiving get-togethers have amplified the virus spread at a risky moment. The numbers of cases per day and hospitalizations in Sacramento and California have been shooting upward dramatically since Halloween.

But, they say, the damage can be mitigated to an extent if people who were with others over Thanksgiving now steer clear of others during the 14-day gestation period for the virus.

“We are very worried about a Thanksgiving bump,” Sacramento County health chief Dr. Peter Beilenson said. “It is crucial to keep the surge down.”

People don’t necessarily need to take an immediate virus test because the test may not catch a gestating virus, misleading the person into thinking they are negative when they are in fact infected and asymptomatic.

Key steps, according to Yolo County Health Officer Aimee Sisson:

— Quarantine at home if you traveled, especially if you went to a place where COVID-19 is spreading rapidly, which is happening in much of California and the country.

— Don’t gather this week with coworkers.

— If you need groceries or food, get it delivered to your house.

— If you take a post-Thanksgiving virus test that comes in negative, it should not shorten the 14-day quarantine period, because the virus may not be immediately detectable.

— Don’t travel for the next holiday (i.e. Christmas).

Increasingly, officials say, the virus is being passed along among people ages 18-49, many of whom do not have symptoms or only mild symptoms, thus spread it unknowingly to others, some of whom are elderly and more susceptible to serious health problems from becoming infected.

The moment is critical, as well, health officials say, because hospitals are being hit with a record high number of COVID-19 cases. On Saturday, Sacramento County hospitals’ virus patient numbers jumped to a record 284, and on Sunday the number jumped again to 303 — a quadrupling of COVID-19 patient numbers in just six weeks.

Similarly, both California and the nation this weekend hit record highs of virus patients. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases official, on Sunday warned that the country is likely to see a surge on top of the existing case surge as more people gather indoors, against health advice, in groups this holiday season.

They don’t believe in Christ so they don’t care.

[GMThrust]

I don’t think it’s that. I think they want to say Trump cancelled everything, so when it all goes back to “normal” next year, they can give creepy Joe and the dems all the credit. They saved us all...

[heylady]

Christ died on the cross for us. No one can prohibit me from gathering with my family in prayers and celebration of his birth.
