It’s Not Too Early To Plan A Christmas Vacation For A Gift To Yourself

Tip! Christmas involves house redecoration and repairs, clothes, Christmas decorations, the entire list of Christmas shopping, maybe a quick Christmas vacation and also the delicious Christmas preparations. To enjoy all these exciting aspects of a very Merry Christmas, one thing that you have to have is - money and that too enough of it.

If you are thinking about taking a family vacation as a Christmas present, you are not the only one. Even though it is a time honored tradition to be at home when Jolly Old St. Nick stops by your house, many Americans have made it their own tradition to take a vacation during Christmas time yearly. It is easier than ever to find fun filled Christmas vacations anywhere you would like to go.

How about a Christmas visit to the North Pole? Too cold for you? Ok would you consider North Pole, New York? Located in New York, North Pole sits nestled in the Adirondack Mountains. The most exciting and magical place to visit during the Christmas holiday, North Pole is both a fun and relaxing place to spend your Christmas Vacation rather you have kids in tow or are young at heart. North Pole offers Christmas vacation packages and is open during the months of November through December. These exciting vacation packages include admission into Santa’s secret workshop, lodging, and meals.

Tip! Originally released in 1989, Christmas Vacation has surprisingly little content that makes it seem ?dated?. As such, it’s certain to be a holiday viewing tradition for generations to come.

Shops galore line Santa’s Village, you will have no problems in finding the perfect souvenir to serve as a reminder of your fun filled Christmas Vacation. Often times live music is playing at the North Pole, to keep you and your family entertained. Other entertainment includes puppet shows, glassblowers, and many other exciting holiday events.

If North Pole, New York, does not offer you the reality you are looking for in the “next best thing, to the real thing”, why not consider visiting a little closer by going to North Pole, Alaska as a family Christmas Vacation? Packages are filled with exciting things to do such as visiting Santa’s home or taking a dog sled ride right through the heart of Santa’s Village. Alaskan dog sled riding is something many people hope to do on any trip to Alaska. Christmas Vacation packages include, accommodations in a nearby hotel and one to two night stays.

It does not matter how old you are, taking a Christmas vacation to either North Pole, while it may not be the real thing, is as close as you are likely going to get. It will keep the Christmas spirit alive and well in those young and old.

Tip! One of the best ways to enjoy a family Christmas vacation is by simply being together. When your children start asking questions like ‘How will Santa find me if I’m away from home,’ have your responses ready and reply with reassurance that Santa is always watching.

If the old guy is not your thing, take a visit to Christmas candyland in Hershey, Pennsylvania. You will delight in seeing the more than one million lights lighting up the town and the animation displays that the Hershey Park displays each year.

Politically Correct Christmas Carols and Holiday Songs

Tip! Artificial Christmas trees can be reused year after year, saving you money and helping save the environment - some people argue that the land used for growing Christmas trees could be used more productively to produce food. And, as real trees tend to be sold without roots, they end up being thrown out in the new year.

Christmas Carols and Holiday Songs tend to exclude, marginalize and insult. Henceforth these songs will be re-written with new titles to avoid any real, imagined or perceived offense.

The word Christmas is exclusive to Christians and must be removed. Since it cannot be replaced with the word “holiday” (Holy Day) we will replace it with the innocuous phrase, “day off.”

“We Wish You a Merry Christmas”

“We Wish You a Merry Non-Religious-Specific Day-Off in Winter.”

Noel is another word for Christmas.

“The First Noel”

“The First Non-Religious-Specific Day-Off in Winter”

Don’t you dare exclude the down and out victims of capitalism at this time of the year.

“I’ll be Home for Christmas”

“I’ll be Home or in a Homeless Shelter for the Non-Religious-Specific Day- Off in Winter”

And let’s not let any covert references to race cloud your celebration (if you do chose to celebrate).

Tip! Artificial Christmas trees fold up compactly for storage and are easy to transport - unlike a tall real tree that can be a struggle to fit into the car and squeeze through the door.

“I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”

“I’m Dreaming of a Race Immaterial Non-Religious- Specific Day-Off in Winter”

The physically impaired must not be excluded.

Tip! Bedrooms are also part of Christmas decorating activity.

“I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day”

“I Sensed the Bells on the Non-Religious-Specific Day-Off in Winter”

If physical disabilities are referred to in other songs, than they must also be performed in sign language, and made available in Braille.

“Do You Hear What I Hear”

“Do You Sense What I Sense”

Angels are spiritual beings, not everybody believes in the spirit life.

“Angels We Have Heard on High”

“Guiding Influences We Have Sensed on High”

Tip! While today the Christmas tree is an enduring symbol of the season, it wasn’t always a holiday tradition.

Since the mute cannot sing, we shall substitute the term communicate.

“Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”

“Sense! The Herald Guiding Influences Communicate”

The word “holy” has religious connotations. We do not want to offend the secular.

“Silent Night, Holy Night”

“Silent Night, Devout Night”

And

“Oh Holy Night”

“Oh Devout Night”

The secular might also lack faith.

“Oh Come All Ye Faithful”

“Oh Come all Ye of Extreme Loyalty to Non-Material Evidence”

A person shall not feel excluded based on where they live?

“Go Tell it on the Mountain”

“Go Tell it on the Preferred Geographic Location”

Tip! Who hasn’t wondered what ‘wassail’ is and why people would request it at Christmas.

?or their climate.

“Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow”

“Let it Perform a Favorite Weather Pattern, Let it Perform a Favorite Weather Pattern, Let it Perform a Favorite Weather Pattern”

Christians are sneaky. They often subtly hijack common terms in an attempt to own the language. The word “manger” has been hijacked to refer exclusively to the nativity of Jesus Christ and it must be replaced.

“Away in a Manger”

“Away in a Trough that Holds Livestock Feed”

The traditional birthplace of Jesus Christ is in Bethlehem, Israel. Since Bethlehem is inside of the Zionist occupied and disputed West Bank we have to apply a tentative name to this song.

“O Little Town of Bethlehem”

“O Quaint Town of Palestinian Joint Rule”

That was a good segue into the use of physical descriptions. The word “little” should never be used. It is demeaning. Especially when used to describe a person. References to a person’s gender shall also be forbidden especially when they help to reinforce stereotypes.

“Little Drummer Boy”

“Vertically Challenged Drummer Child of Undetermined Gender”

Other gender specific songs need to be re-done.

“Frosty the Snowman”

“Frosty the Hermaphrodite Snow Creature”

Tip! Trail blazing Christmas excitement - yes it’s true that retailers actually were the ones responsible for making Christmas popular to the masses. They extended Christmas into the wider community by decorating stores, putting on specials and adding colorful festive displays, choirs and in some cases small pantomime plays.

And

“Oh Come Let us Adore Him”

“Oh Come Let us Adore Him or Her”

This also applies to stereotyped roles in parenthood and heterosexualism.

“I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause”

“I Saw My Gynocentric Guardian Kissing a Non-Gender Specific Person who is Known to Wear a Red Suit”

We cannot stereotype overweight people as happy, nor make references to a person’s age. Even if they are saintly (another subtle religious term)

Tip! One of the pagan traditions that Christians have incorporated into their Christmas celebration includes hanging mistletoe.

“Jolly Old Saint Nicholas”

“Happy, Plus-sized, Chronologically-Gifted, Highly Virtuous
Nicholas”

We kept the term Nicholas to preserve some tradition. We are not implying that Nicholas has to be a male name and males are the only ones who are capable of amassing enough fortune and possessing the generosity to be able to give presents to masses of people. Nor are we implying that females lack the physical strength and endurance to accomplish such a task. In order to balance this mistaken perception, we shall apply modern day affirmative action in order to level down the male ego and help balance the playing field.

Tip! Many people are familiar with the term ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas,’ but not everyone knows where it originated.

“We Three Kings of Orient are”

“We Three Misogynist Autocrats of Eastern Asia are”

This especially applies to westerners?

“Good King Wenceslas”

“Evil White Male European Misogynist Autocrat Wenceslas”

?doubly, especially if they are Christian

“Good Christian Men Rejoice”

“Evil Narrow-Minded Homophobic Racist Misogynist Men Get Drunk and Abusive”

We don’t take tradition lightly. We actually found one traditional song that we ill keep in its entirety. We feel this song accurately portrays the typical man.

“Mr. Grinch”

Sample lyrics: “Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!”

Songs of Thanksgiving or, the Autumn Day Off, will also need to be deconstructed.

“Over the River and Through the Woods”

“Over the River and Through the Woods”

Subtitled: “Only after an environmental impact study on the effects of a horse-drawn sleigh upon the woods is conducted. And assuming the gentle vegetarian beast of a horse is not being forced to pull an overloaded sleigh and is doing so on a volunteer basis.”

Christmas Gift Find a great gift for your Major League Baseball fan.

We realize that this one may lose some of the warmth of its original meaning. This could be avoided if the grandmother (or grandparent) would just move back to the city and help stop urban sprawl.

And last but not least, we need to help swing the cultural pendulum away from the religious holiday and back toward the secular day off granted by the state. We can do this through songs that highlight the true Marxist origins of political correctness

“Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”

“Rudolph the Red Knows that the State Seizure and Re-distribution of Private Wealth is Fairer than Private Charity and Ensures the Survival and Growing Power of the State”
