Celebrating Christmas politically-correctly...?

On the 12th day of the Eurocentrically imposed midwinter festival, my Significant Other in a consenting adult, monogamous relationship gave to me:

TWELVE males reclaiming their inner warrior through ritual drumming,

ELEVEN pipers piping (plus the 18-member pit orchestra made up of members in good standing of the Musicians Equity Union as called for in their union contract even though they will not be asked to play a note),

TEN melanin deprived testosterone-poisoned scions of the patriarchal ruling-class system leaping,

NINE persons engaged in rhythmic self-expression,

EIGHT economically disadvantaged female persons stealing milk-products from enslaved Bovine-Americans,

SEVEN endangered swans swimming on federally protected wetlands,

SIX enslaved Fowl-Americans producing stolen non-human animal products,

FIVE golden symbols of culturally sanctioned enforced domesticincarceration,

(NOTE: after members of the Animal Liberation Front threatened to throw redpaint at my computer, the calling birds, French hens and partridge have beenreintroduced to their native habitat. To avoid further Animal-Americanenslavement, the remaining gift package has been revised.)

FOUR hours of recorded whale songs,

THREE deconstructionist poets,

TWO Sierra Club calendars printed on recycled processed tree carcasses and...

ONE Spotted Owl activist chained to an old-growth pear tree.

I think I prefer the politcally "incorrect" version. =P

No idea. Go find and ask the author of this version.

ROTFL! Can't they even say 'christmas' these days? Or do they have to refer to it as secular holiday season'?

Man what is this world coming to?

*grins*

PS: In case you hven't been following malaysian affairs, there was a case some time back where one malay officer worte and passed a memo around telling muslims in his organization that it is not okay to visit indian friends for Deepavali. Yes. The cultural fabric is starting to go down to the dumps.

They like to call it "religious tolerance". =P
