besides, it's not like I got nothing for xmas
Oh, yeah, baby: Statalicious. Which isn't even to mention certain other presents, including a few from certain blog readers who know perfectly well who they are and perfectly well that they are loved.

Yay! Sounds like the pity party's over. Way to get into the Xmas spirit.
Just as a logical matter, if you reject the underlying message, then the gift exchange portion would seem like it should loom even larger, because there's not the sense of it really being a contaminant of some true "reason for the season."

Oh, I never bit onto it. He likes to jerk folks around.
Why does he have to bring Christmas/Xmas into it though?
I'm no O'Reilly but why fall back on the "nah nah nah nah nah nah" gift-getting secular part if you reject the underlying message?

Just send gifts. The message is clear.
"Just as a logical matter, if you reject the underlying message, then the gift exchange portion would seem like it should loom even larger..."
Or, you could be truly complete in your rejection. True independence = just another day.
Course you'd miss out on the fun of needling Xian simpleness. And the fun of making Xmas just about the loot.
I'm sure you got lots for Christmas and gave stuff too. Put the armor away for another year.
Put away the armor? Christmas is over. Nobody believes that peace and love shit. It's about what you got.
Gird your loins. We're back at war.
See what JF has started with all his so-called logic.

I don't think it's something StataCorp has made publicly available, although perhaps they will eventually.
