Holiday Trees of Christmas Trees: DEBATE

[Star Wars Fan]

Well, time for an argument. Are the pine (of other trees) decorated during December "Holiday Trees" or "Christmas Trees"

so, argue

Besides extremist Christians and pathetic, PC assholes, who really gives a fuck?

Thats more of a political question then a religious one. But as an aethist, I put up my christmas tree every year.

Good for you. I put up my trees up too, this year I was too lazy to set up the detailed artifical tree so I set up the white one outside (2 piece tree) and a small tree inside.

Interesting how those trees didn't have anything to do with Christmas, how Christmas happens around the Winter Solstice, around the time of the Roman Saturnalia, etc.

If O'Reilly is correct, the 90 something percent of America that is Christian.

People who care about stupid stuff like accuracy and precision of expression, for one thing.

I guess that would leave you out.

Accuracy and precision of expression? A decorated evergreen coniferous tree is a heck of a mouthful.

It's a tree. Not a cross, or any overt religious symbol. A fucking tree.

Some people complaining about christmas trees must live pretty fucking miserable lives, the way you pick apart and attack every damn thing you encounter. Just try laying back and accepting the world as it is for a while. Could do wonders for a high stress level.

(This last paragraph is not aimed at you arms, I know you're a pretty laid back guy. I'm just talking about people in general who bitch about them.)
