Christmas Decorations for Scrooges

In the apartment building I live in, the place is virtually littered with signs of Christmas trees, Santa Clauses and “Ho Ho Ho” and “Merry Christmas” and the like on everyone’s front doors. (Hanukkah is over, or else there would be lots of Menorahs as well.) But what about for the anti-Christmas, anti-holiday-cheer crowd? Surely there must be a Scrooge among us, right? But I’ll bet there’s no “Bah, Humbug!” sign jigsawed out of wood and painted in bright, festive colors with sparkles glued onto the letters for them to buy so that they can express themselves this yuletide. Surely that’s oppression of some sort, now isn’t it? (Or maybe even a hate crime?) Quick, someone call the ACLU: we need new laws to protect Scrooges!
