From the desk of Christmas Present...

These days Christmas is about buying shit and marketing the need to buy presents.
Chief pitchman for the Christmas season isn't Jesus, it's Santa Claus.

That doesn't make many people happy.

In Nipomo, California local resident Ron Lake has taken a different tactic in making his Christmas display. He's spurned all normal decorating conventions and put his "repressed creativity" to work.

Ron's given Jesus a shotgun and placed him hovering over a dead Santa Claus. Nearby is a dead Rudolph, laying in a truck bed.

Take that Commerialism! And eat lead Kringle.

Of course some locals are complaining, claiming this Christmas display is too violent and is offensive to children walking by. Spoil sports.

First, have a sense of humor.

Second, remember who Christmas is for. It's not for little Miley and Edward to get their new PS3 or Rhinoplasty doll. It's to remember the birth of a child who would one day grow up to be tortured, beaten and crucified for his beliefs.

So a Christmas display showing dead Santa is appropriate, even in yard art.

Now, lets see how long it takes the marketing guys to create this display as an inflatable balloon.
