Which one is it?
I really don't care. Have a tree, or not. Call it what you wish. Do yo' thang, I'll do mine.

My apologies. Just taking care of some unfinished business. I'm done with him.
Everything about you is a lie.
This activity has been good, oC. It has helped remind me of the positives of Christmas, and also how negative your side of the holiday is.
Why not just allow people to call it whatever they want and create whatever tradition they want to create around it, eh? 28 pages of blather over a Christmas tree?! Sheesh!
Who said this was a priority? The right for women to slaughter their unborn is a helluva lot bigger dilemma than the Christmas tree issue, and most people don't give the gravity of that evil practice a second thought.Who cares?
There are people who can't afford to eat let alone buy a fake evergreen, and meanwhile we're fabricating some mystical "war on Christmas" and arguing about what to call a ****ing tree.
Wonderful priorities we have America.
Christmas Trees: The symbolisms of the spirit of Christmas (at least in positive circles, not your circles).
Gift Giving: Expresses one's love toward another, even commercial gifts at times. Expressing love is definitely Christian
Mistletoe: They have beauty, and Christ is also about beauty. Also, standing under mistletoe gives an opportunity to kiss your true love.
The rest of your list represents happy memories, and family traditions. Christ is all about what makes us happy and what bonds us together as families.

You're right, I don't, because I don't consider it an evil practice.Who said this was a priority? The right for women to slaughter their unborn is a helluva lot bigger dilemma than the Christmas tree issue, and most people don't give the gravity of that evil practice a second thought.
I believe there is a war on Christianity. Christmas is only part of it. Get your facts straight.
Lol...Merry Christmas Diahna...or Happy Holidays which ever you prefer...see you have to walk down the street now and if you want to greet someone you dont know this time of year...you have to ask them..Can I say Merry Christmas or must I say Happy Holidays or do I have be more specific so as not to offend you...because all I want to do is really greet you cheerfully.
Now there will be 15 posts on how I should just STFU and Say Happy Holidays...I dont wanna though
LOL I don't think it's surprising to hear that someone who believes in Christian doctrine, also believes that doctrine is under attack.Is the Christian-dominated government taking part in this "War on Christianity."
"Always" in the US. The battleground is in the US, as this country is the last bastion of Christianity.

Bunch of bankers...What about Vatican City?
Yeah that's pretty much what it is. The fact that more people are essentially choosing to reject archaic tradition is not war as many folks would have us believe, if anything it's enlightenment.Is that doctrine or merely ancient myths and superstitions one by one shown to have absolutely no basis in actual fact? But that process would actually constitute a "war" on a great many religions and on much non-religious foolishness as well. Sounds pretty even-handed to me.

I just wanted to mention that here at my nursery we call them Abies Nordmaniana, Picea Pungens, Abies bornmuelleriana, Pseudotsuga menzesii and other similarly melifluous names.
Quite so. Time marches on, but there are those who prefer to lie down at the side of the road and not take another step.Yeah that's pretty much what it is.

Or...Or...
Christmas Trees: The destruction of our environment for purely commercial and self-serving means. Are you meaning that Christians about the destruction of our planet?
Gift Giving: Presents that love is solely about objects and "things". In your world are Christians this shallow?
Mistletoe: They smell bad and put people who who do not want to be kissed in awkward positions. To you, is Christ about smelling bad and creating discomfort?
The rest of the list is about commercial endeavors in order to sell things to kids. Seems to me that your version of Christianity is all about greed. Is that how Christ felt?
This has been a good exercise, Dooble. It demonstrates just how little you know of the spirit and the meaning of Christmas.
How is human life in danger here in any way?Or...
Environut Hysterics: Shows your insane regard for plant life over human life.
"Earth First". Does that ring a bell?How is human life in danger here in any way?
