Christmas is gone
Just finished flipping through some sales flyers, I noticed alot of sales on HOLIDAY trees, not Christmas trees.
F*%!ing "HOLIDAY" trees! WTF!!! I wanted to puke. Is anybody else as sick of this crap as I am?? This P.C nonsense has gotten totaly out of control. no more Christmas in schools, the C word is forbidden anywhere in public. I guess its an anti-christian thing, because other religious celebrations seem to be allowed? Not that I'm religious by any means, far from it. I just think its disgusting whats happening in our society. In the so called Land of the Free. To our Non-American pelicans , do you have this problem in other countries? Or is it only over here in our politically correct, Leftist Liberal ridden society?

Having said all that, I am already sick & tired of xmas this year. They've been playing jingle bells for almost 3 weeks... it absolutely sucks the fun out of it. I've told everytone that I won't give gifts to anyone who puts their decorations up before Dec 11th.

It is interesting to study the history of the holiday we celebrate as "Christmas". It's origins really had nothing to do with Christianity and in fact, it was illegal to even celebrate Christmas in this country very early on (it was seen as a pagan holiday). What we celebrate as Christmas these days is actually a mix of many traditions (very few of them with religious origins) from many different countries. Mike

Simple, typo in Constitution. Freedom from religion is what it was supposed to say.

Last weekend my parent's and I had a conversation on this very topic... It was hilarious to see my normally mild mannered mother "blow-up". She literally wants me to follow her lead and boycott Target. I don't really pay attention to such things... but apparently it really is bothering some people.

December 11th? I agree with you in principle, but since a kid, I have seen people get their Christmas (woops, I said it, just offended someone) tree the day after Thanksgiving (I probably just offended someone else), so I guess I don't have a problem with Christmas (ah, said it again) decorations anytime after Thanksgiving (there I go again).

This is all so easy. I'm not absolutely sure who God's chosen people are, so just to be on the safe side, celebrate them all with respect. We do.
The house really looks festive with the tree, menorah, and pole.

The last few years at work we have not been able to even have a holiday party. We had an annual party in January. This is the first year in 4 years where we are haveing a holiday party.
