I'm the most Kkkrackkkers of Amerikkkans so my tradition is just getting drunk off mulled wine and re-watching bad holiday movies with relatives I only kinda like.

I'm sometimes a little jealous of people who have weirder shit going on, like gremlins who slam doors and steal sausages or shitting Christmas logs. We need to bring back weird ass half-pagan shit.

    It's not my fault that the fucked up rules of the English language make the text seem unreadable to you. Coherent pronunciation and principled writing are something foreign to the anglo mind, case in point would you tell me how to read "ough"? I have a few words here:

    Tough, Trough, Through, Drought, Dough, Thorough, Hiccough, Hough and Lough.

    For the life of me I can't figure it out! For all I know "Ghoti" is the way I should write 🐟!

    You look at Polish and for the most part it is read as it is written with few exceptions like digraphs and hard consonants being softened at the end of a word. You tell a child to read "Chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie w Szczebrzdżeszynie" and they'll read it to you with no mistakes, even if slowly because of it being a tongue twister. You give an American child something to read, and they'll stumble on their own thoughts.

    I'm sorry. But how is English a real language?
