Shitbird was one of my mom's favorite names for me growing up (when I was being a shitbird), so I found the OP especially touching. However, considering the number of atheists in the gun violence thread, I don't think Merry Christmas is very inclusive. So, in the spirit of the original virtue signaling I will wish you non-believers who will one day burn in hell Happy Holidays!
I think someone drank a little too much spiked punch at the electrical supply house Xmas party.......I'll save my holiday greetings for another 2 days. Bahumbug!!!
God bless you all and have a Merry Christmas you bunch of motorcycle riding maniacs! May the cat not leave you a “present” in your stocking this year.
