I've never understood why people from the west make fun of socialism, it is the only system that serves the people not the rich few. My old country was socialist (which is why the west destroy it) and we had free schooling university included, free health insurance, free flats from the government, even state summer resorts for low cost and people of three different religions lived in it happily and in peace.
Wow, that white cat in the car is soooo me! LOL!... and that little girl in bunny ears -- how the hell did you manage to get the last letter I ever sent to Santa?!
The Goldwater Rule prevents us from diagnosing people over the Internet, but Charlie Brown as bipolar? I'm not seeing it. He's got dysthymia at best, if not outright depression. Looking forward to kicking a football or flying a kite does not count as a manic episode.
@ Old Lurker -- Yes, I agree with your diagnosis, Dr. Lurker. I thought the same thing when I first read this meme. However, alas, one cannot edit memes. You have to take them or leave them "as is." Otherwise, I'd be spending all my time correcting spelling and grammar, quite frankly, LOL!
HAHAHA! Loved them all but the 'gift not included', the muffler and the nut cracker really did it for me. It took a few seconds to get the nut cracker and then I couldn't stop laughing.
I have to take some issue with that "socialist" meme. Santa, the reformed Grinch, the reformed Scrooge, and George Baily are not, strictly speaking, advocating any type of egalitarian government, but rather charity. Here in the USA, people on the Right (of which I am not one) have long advocated private charity as a SUBSTITUTE for government goods and services (when they're not advocating for-profit private ownership as another substitute.) They would have no problem with Scrooge footing the bill for Tiny Tim's operation, just as long as socialized medicine is not involved. I've even seen right-wingers on C Span argue that Jesus didn't expect the government to help the poor. Again, I don't agree with these views, and wish the USA was more like Canada when it comes to social programs. For what it's worth, Dr. Seuss and Charles Dickens were left of center in their politics, I just don't think their Christmas stories are the best arguments for their left-of-center politics. I know I'm making too much of a simple joke, but the right-wingers wouldn't have the power that they have in the United States if they all acted like the unreformed Scrooge and unreformed Grinch. Even Donald Trump criticizes the rich, and he's hardly George Bailey, much less Jesus.
@ Kirk -- Yes, you're absolutely right about the profound difference between private charity/philanthropy and socialism. As Ruthie Wilson Gilmore wrote, "Philanthropy is the private allocation of stolen social wages." Thanks for your perceptive comment!
The gingerbread ones are great. I need to share those with my friend Ginger. But the rewrite of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" is the best. I guess it would be "Santa Claus is Coming to a Bar Near You".
You are a joy!!! And a fuck trump to you too!
ReplyDeleteThe signs just got better and better! But the last one beat all the rest! I love that sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha
ReplyDeleteOMG the kitty in the car ready to go shopping!!!
XOXO

ReplyDeleteMerry everything to you!!

ReplyDeleteI tried to think which one I loved best, and it's all of them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for my morning guffaw!
You've solved my shopping dilemma: batteries for everyone!
ReplyDeleteEvery one of those - great, great, great. And funny! hahahaha
ReplyDeletean enjoyable post, dear Lady Debra !!
ReplyDeleteWhen i open up batteries first....it worries me to open the other half up next. You don't what to know what I opens up last time.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas, and if you do have a tree, I hope that it lasts a bit longer than that Ikea` one.
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful especially the Christmas heroes.
ReplyDeleteHa ha - love your post. Merry Christmas to you and your Rare One.
ReplyDeleteI can always count on some good chuckles from your meme posts!!
ReplyDeleteI used the 'gift not included' meme on facebook. It's a great meme. It's one of those 'why didn't I think of that' memes.
ReplyDeleteThe Ikea tree is perfect.
Another great post full of holiday hilarity! I'll confess that I'm curious about the backstory on the note from the neighbors...
ReplyDeleteOk, never mind. It's a car muffler under the note. I thought it was a flask at first! LoL!
ReplyDeleteYeah definitely I am going to buy my own stuff this year
ReplyDeletexx
Yes, he's a ginger bread man, but only out of earshot. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, that white cat in the car is soooo me! LOL!... and that little girl in bunny ears -- how the hell did you manage to get the last letter I ever sent to Santa?!
ReplyDeleteI love these. The Christmas heroes and the Trump one are the best.
ReplyDeleteGlad I came back again - these are hilarious! I love the batteries and the nutcracker, and anything referencing Christmas Vacation is funny.
ReplyDeleteFat Judgmental Bastard lol!!! That was the best one!! :)

ReplyDeleteThese are great, Debra. FUCK TRUMP! And yes, I've been naughty and it was so worth it.
ReplyDeleteLove,

ReplyDeleteGood 'uns, Debra.
ReplyDeleteThat IKEA tree takes about a week to put together.
ReplyDeleteFat, judgemental bastard. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, Loved them all, perhaps especially the Letters to Santa.
ReplyDelete--Jim
Made me laugh ✅
ReplyDeleteJP
I like the fat judgemental bastard one the best.

ReplyDeleteHa. I might've written that letter to the fat, judgemental bastard. Nah, I lie. I just wish I did. It's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteCheers and thanks for the sillies.
Now that America is run by the far right, kids will have to get their own presents.
