Spend this year's Christmas with Christmas Carnivals Redneck Christmas Poems and discover an all new dimension of Advent. Embrace the cultural nitty-gritties of these people and add meaning to the Noel.
The term "Redneck" refers to a specific section of people living in the Appalachian Mountains of Southern US. It can be employed both in pejorative as well as in favorable significance, depending on the context.
" Rednecks reject or resist assimilation into the dominant culture, while their co-dwellers, the hicks and hillbillies theoretically are isolated from the dominant culture. To outsiders, it is generally a term for people of Southern or Appalachian rural backgrounds – the rural poor to working-class people of rural extraction. (Appalachia also includes large parts of Pennsylvania, New York and other states.) Within that group, however, it is used to describe the more downscale members.
The Redneck Christmas poem like 12 Days of Christmas - A Cat's Rendition goes:
On the twelfth day of Christmas my human gave to me:
Twelve bags of catnip!
Eleven tarter Pounce treats,
Ten ornaments hanging,
Nine wads of Kleenex,
Eight peacock feathers,
Seven stolen Q-tips,
Six feathered balls,
Five MILK JUG RINGS!
Four munchy house plants,
Three running faucets,
Two fuzzy mousies,
And a hamste-e-er in a plastic ball!!
These people consciously strive to break away from the mainstream and thereby isolate themselves so as to carve a niche for themselves as well as their community. Their tastes and practices cater to the bourgeois and proletarian classes alike. The poems revel in toppling well-grounded categories as a mark of identity. Check out
