Tony;
you make a good point regarding religion should not have to be taught behind closed doors etc.. I agree. I'm not a religous guy as people may have guessed from my posts, however I'm not anti religion at all. More of an agnostic I suppose.

Anyways. I guess I dont see the big deal in a municipal program trying to be a-religious and call it a holiday tree. To me it's not a big deal. And hopefully regardless of religion or lack there of, people are teaching their kids that all religions are ok, if thats what you believe.
Thats my 0.02. Like I said I wouldnt support a world wide ban in calling it an christmas tree, or going the 'Futurama' cartoon route where in the future, Christmas is called X-mas.

All valid points, so lets unless since I dont practice a religion I'm viewed as in which case you can all

Happy Holidays everyone, back to work

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?

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.
