I dunno. All the Xmas tree, trimmings and Santa Claus stuff have about as much to do with the birth of Christ as the Easter Bunny and colored eggs have to do with his resurrection. I don't see much irony here at all. Xmas decorations get used for a week or two a year and then get either tossed in the garbage or stored in the attic for another 50 weeks. What's the point of paying more than you have to for it?
