This video may feel dated. Ever since Donald Trump singlehandedly won the “War on Christmas,” none of us are afraid to say “Merry Christmas” anymore. But there was a time pre-Trump when everyone lived in fear of saying the M-word and C-word, lest you be holiday-shamed. Not Stanley Hudson from The Office. He never gave a f*ck.
Every so often, someone will ignore the fact that Americans love watching The Office today (it was the most streamed show during the pandemic) and claim you could never make The Office today. They might be talking about clips like this.
I have been here eighteen years and have suffered through some weird thematic Christmases. Honolulu Christmas. A Pulp Fiction Christmas. A Muslim Christmas.
Muslim Christmas?
The rant continues…
Moroccan Christmas. Mo Rocca Christmas. I don’t want. it. Christmas is Christmas is Christmas is Christmas.
Then Stanley really goes off. I don’t think he’s been this upset since street construction outside canceled Pretzel Day.
I don’t want no Kwanza wreath. I don’t need a dreidel in my face, that’s its own thing. And who’s that Black Santa for? I don’t care. I know Santa ain’t black. I could care less. I want Christmas. Just give me plain baby Jesus lying in a manger Christmas.
Stanley tells no lies. For starters, I refuse to acknowledge Kwanza as a holiday until I meet a single person who celebrates it. And I am 99% sure no one in the office celebrates Hanukah. If they did, there would have been an episode where Michael Scott made things awkward with a bagel buffet, a copy of the Complete Friar’s Club Anthology of Jewish Jokes, and a Kanye West impersonator.
When you know a specific group of people only celebrates one holiday and you know which one it is, it can be a Christmas Party. No need to be a PC-corporate douche.
