Loved that song, and especially the "easter eggs"I wouldn't have noticed without you pointing it out ( except maybe Bill singing...lol), whom I love and nice voice. Loved the lead singers voice, never heard him before

Yeah, a lot of damage has been done to the message and the point...but, I can at least fight to keep it in my own heart and celebration...this is my favorite time of year...and I always feel the love and give it as much as I can.

Wish I could post a pic of my Christmas Tree which I am very proud of...lol

My house looks like Santa's workshop..wall to wall Christmas with many of my collectibles related to Christmas...young children are impressed, a lot of adults find the "business" ( not clutter...lol) overwhelming though. My one cat loves to lay under the tree and rest his head on one of the manger pieces as he sleeps...he stole the baby Jesus once and moved it across the room for some reason...lol

Merry Christmas and Peace and Love always

Great piece Matt. I Enjoyed every word as I looked up at my wife’s blue Bud Light Can ornament and the “F### 2020” ornament our son made on a 3D printer at work. Tacky has its place on every Christmas tree.

Can't believe that an entire news article was made surrounding a Christmas Ornament. Trump still reigns in these people's heads.

My mother's office has gone from a place to celebrate great Americans like Ronald Reagan to a cesspool of Trump merchandise including a gold Trump bronze bust. She is well into her 1970s, and this wasted wealth of this stuff that will be worth nothing after she leaves this earth will quickly be thrown in the garbage.

I am from the old school conservative arm of the Republican party where we handed out "character matters" bumper stickers to bring to light the Clinton ethos of adultery and lies. Now the GOP celebrates men like this as long as they have the magic R behind their name. It even came out in sworn testimony Trump flew on Epstein's airplane this past week and she still dares not question the Trump ethos despite calling Clinton a pig for acting in a similar manner.

So literally thousands of dollars of this crap will find its way to the trash heap eventually. She told me the other day she would really like to get back into the routine of getting back into chruch. I told her that would be good. Then she says well it's so hard to get back into the routine.

I wanted to tell her stop decorating your office with golden calves to celebrate your earthly king, turn off OAN, Newsmax, and Fox News, and put the effort into it that you give to Trump. I know my wife would have made it a long drive home had I said that, so I bit my tounge.

Is it any wonder the reason for the season is being replaced by a celebration of Trump and his material possessions like his airplane and towers? It's sad really. I guess that's why I wasn't surprised when I saw a viral video of MAGA supporters in a church yelling "let's go Brandon."

Mike Judge was right in his movie "Idiocracy." Today it's Bradon, but soon these people will drop the F bomb. I am already having to explain to young children what the "F Biden" flags mean. I remember when we conservatives railed against the left for introducing such language and concepts to our young children. Conservatism and decency has been dropped in exchange for Trump.

Trump didn't save America in four years. Heck, he didn't even lead his party to repeal Obamacare.

Maybe the real war on Christmas is the seeming possibility, Jesus is being replaced in the season for all things Trump.

As a Libertarian who never voted for the failed game show host, an outsider looking in if you will, you have severe TDS. You've fully bought in to the propaganda the left sells. You're no better than the lunatics who will be adorning their Christmas trees with silver and Trump gold.

Those ornaments are hard to get. Is there a link to where to buy one in stock?

Matt do you search for Trump-leaning newsletters and angrily try to convince subscribers in the comments section that Trump was/is bad? I bet you don’t. Why do trolls umm…. freeloading….sorry non-paying users feel the need to waste their energy here?

I’m surprised the Trump junk hucksters haven’t adopted the “only four easy payments of $29.95 plus shipping and handling” you see in Sunday newspaper ads.

If Ralph Nader was running again he could peddle a Corvair ornament.

No evidence for this, but I think the Fox tree roast was an inside job--Smolletized, as it were.

Following Christmas, and your bank statement comes in, you review it and see the $75 you paid for the ornament. And America is no better because you bought it. It's then you realize what a sucker you've been, and you made Trump just a little bit richer.

For what it's worth, I have seen Biden and Kamala Christmas tree ornaments, in fire engine red North Dakota, no less. Not surprisingly, these were sold in a cutesy downtown boutique that carried an eclectic variety of lifestyle accessories for smug BoBos, middlebrow feminist poetry books, overpriced soaps and teas and kitchen stuff. Class signaling, how does it work?

I don't know whether anyone was buying.
