Christmas Tree or Holiday Tree? |
|
This is one of the lamest, non-issue, shit-starting arguments I've ever heard. It's Christmas Tree, everyone knows it's Christmas Tree. It's like watching someone try and pick a fight with himself.

in that I've always heard it. Doesn't seem offensive. But Holiday Tree sounds ridiculous. I never thought I'd agree with Jerry Falwell on anything. I guess some issues are so stupid they come full circle. :beer:

Nobody.
It's a false controversy.

referred to it as a holiday tree. The Christian Right just needs something to bitch about...it's a slow time of year.

17. Sounds like censorship to me... |
|
I suppose if I called it a Holiday Tree... I should have the right to continue calling it that. Jerry, FauxNews, et al... Should go back to preaching to their own choirs and leave the First Amendment alone.

I hate dead and dying trees in my house. I quit doing 'em a few years back. I bought one of those cheesy little optic light numbers that I can stuff back in the box. I call it a cheesy little optic light Christmas tree. Now that I know I have an option, I might sometimes call it my cheesy little optic light holiday tree.

I think it's better to have no tree than a fake tree. My $.02.

To be honest, my little fiber optic burned out and I'm not planning on replacing it. I'm not a scrooge, I just don't like the whole tree idea. Just weird like that.

16. It's accurately called a Christmas tree. |
|
It doesn't matter that it is non-inclusive -- that's what it's called.
There's no such thing as a "holiday candelabra" either (which I've never seen, but I'm offering here for the sake of absurdity) -- it's a Hanukkah menorah.
