    Notwithstanding what the Post says, Sheehan isn't really a crisis PR guy - he's more of a media/debate trainer. Also, he's usually only on board for a day or two and then goes away to another client. #christmasiscanceled

    After how many years of cancellations does it become the former Xmas lunch, the onetime Xmas lunch, the Xmas lunch of a bygone era, the Xmas lunch of ad budgets past, etc? #christmasiscanceled

    I'm sure those who were laid off will appreciate the irony of a hefty salary being paid to a flack who will try to mitigate the image damage done by the layoffs. #christmasiscanceled

    @TheBusinessGuy:

    Yep.

    Here's a thought, for all the CEOs running around hiring consultants to help figure out how to economize during the recession: cut the salaries of your top (most likely overpaid) employees, including yourself, and stop wasting money on consultants... #christmasiscanceled

    Christmas, as a money transfer scheme, has been dead to me for years.

    It's not rocket science to say "I'm not spending money on office gifts for people I neither know nor like." Nor do you have to go bankrupt on buying a load of useless crap for relatives you hardly ever see.

    Last year, I had no money AT ALL. None. And I bought small gifts for maybe three important people, baked a lot of dirt cheap brown sugar pies for others and still got invited to Christmas dinner, the tree still lit up, snow still fell and I saved myself stressful trips to the local, soul crushing mall. It was nice. #thepoors

    Up here in the North there are no wage packet jobs for us
    Thank Christ
    While young married couples discuss the poverties
    Of their self-built traps
    And the junior clergy demand more cash
    We spit in their plate and wait for the ice to melt #thepoors

    Yes, please, let's cancel Christmas. If you want, feel free to go home and visit loved ones, but that holiday is a fucking monument to consumerism. I know that's such a "high school rebel with a conscience" thing to say, but it's true.

    If you're related to me, you're getting a homemade sock this year. Feel free to knit the other sock yourself. #thepoors

    @nozer: That is actually brilliant. Then I only have to knit six socks instead of twelve. OR I could have everyone pay homage to the memory of Michael Jackson with one glove apiece, san sequins. #thepoors

    @nozer: Has the Baby Jesus not suffered enough? You can be a Scrooge and call off Christmas, but for Jesus' sake, I'll just have to celebrate twice as hard. I'm gonna wear out my Home Alone DVD, gorge on Christmas cookies, and enjoy glad tidings of good beer. Consumerism never felt so warm and fuzzy. #thepoors
