Too much cofee;
that wasnt meant to be wound up.
I enjoy this kind of debate; just not as much as spence does

I just feel as though it should be called for what it is. A christmas tree. If you do not wish to call it a Christmas tree don't. But why does it have to be announced to everyone that it is officially the Holiday Tree?

I work in a hospital and I just don't get why some offices can not even put up a Santa Claus Cut-Out if they want?

What problem does ANYONE have with santa claus

Who could that possibly offend

Santa has to do with Christmas so we cant have that in public for people to see.

Merry Christmas everyone....I am going to set up my Christmas tree tomorrow..Anybody want to come over and see it?? sssh..I will be dressed as Santa..Dont tell anyone tho..Xmas is a religious holiday.Yes.But look at how many "different" people celebrate the "same" holiday but yet call it a different name..IT'S A tradition....Everyone needs to relax and let people celebrate how they want to and call it what they want to and not try to push their beliefs on everyone else...

There is room for everyone

Been really busy - missed this thread.

Its a Christmas Tree!! That's it!! No more debate.

The other day my family & I went to cut down a big green tree at this place that had a sign that said:

"Christmas Trees".

Then we hung these bright funny colored things on it called:

"Christmas Ornaments" and "Christmas Tree Lights".

(Actually, I went fishing for a couple hours while they hung the Christmas Ornaments on it Sunday night. )

Then we made a space under the tree for these crazy things called:

"Christmas Presents".

Oh, and by the way, since my soon to be 6-year old son was born on December 25, his birthday is on:

"Christmas Day".


What the heck are "holiday trees", "holiday ornaments", "holiday tree lights", "holiday presents", and "holiday day".

Give me a break.

Well, if it forces the Christmas Tree Shop to change its name, I'm all for it

I used to wonder how my ex could drop a deuce in a place where the most expensive item was $6.99. Then I looked in her bag one day and found 30 bottles of suntan lotion. "But it was only $1.99 a bottle". Great, a 30 year supply---I guess the fact that there was an expiration date on the bottles and PABA loses its effectiveness after a couple of years never occured to her

Are you kidding me...Huge Problem

He's a 300 lb. Guy with an Overeating Disorder who Binge eats about 3 billion cookies every December 24th (Doesn't say much for the Obesity Problem in this country) and who has a Penchant for suits made of Crushed Red Velvet (Now if this was San Fran or P'Town, Fine)

He runs a Sweat Shop 365 days a year 24/7 ( Unfair labor practices) and its manned by Elves (they prefer to be called "little People")

He Hitches up a bunch of animals and Beats them into the ground every year (PETA, need i say more) and then sneaks into little kids rooms plying them w/ Presents in the Hopes that they will start writing to Him (Now it could be innocent but if Micheal Jackson did it...Whole different story)

Don't even get me Going on the whole "Bad or Good, Naughty or Nice" thing


****Disclaimer**** This was just sarcasm so please take it as such.

well...i think if they wanna call a christmas (more-christ) tree a
holiday tree from now on.....then it will be my right to have a holiday tree for every damn holiday of the year... and there's 15 of them!

just think about that.... the possibilities are endless...
On Easter you play easter egg hunt around the tree.....
on president day you break out the president ornaments
4th of july ....decorate with just red white and blue
on halloween you decorate the tree with allot of orange pumpkin lights and hang candy all over it

well you get the idea.....
i'm planning on establishing a christmas farm with hundreds of
christmas trees that will never be cut and always be lit up via solar
powered batteries.... what are they gonna do next make christmas caroling illegal.... too society needs a bitch slap.
