Christmas tree has been called it for centuries. I was raised to call it a Christmas tree. The PC crowd are just a bunch of whiny brats.

And did I mention the PC world might get sued by some Genealogy sites, considering they have the name "Family Tree" first?

About one century, maybe a little more. :)

Why is everyone so up in arms about it? Why do you care what someone else calls it?

I seriously doubt any of those sites have trademarked the phrase "family tree".

Gtalum, why do you care what we feel about this issue? Why are you questioning our outrage? The answer is, just as we have a right to our emotions and feelings - so do you. This has hit a sensitive spot for us. You just don't screw around with people's memories and traditions.

What about the pagans who for thousands of years used evergreens to celebrate the winter solstice? Why doesn't anyone consider their feelings and their traditions? :lol:

I wonder what Jesus would think about people using pagan symbols to celebrate his birth anyway? :lol:

But why are you getting your panties in a wad because of the pagans rights.

The star at the top of my CHRISTMAS TREE symbolizes the star that guided the wisemen. I think Jesus would have liked that.

Not my life. lol
I'm not going to change just to appease a few fruitcakes. :P



Exactly, HollynLA. It's ridiculous.


By 'life', I mean that it's everywhere. Like some sort of conspiracy.

:idea: Wait, hold on! I got it! OH MY GOD! They're using PC to brainwash our children! PHRACKINO! EEP! :eek:
