Christmas Trees Are Offensive

[vince]

Why does anyone in the "land of the free", give a crap how a corporation chooses to celebrate or not celebrate a holiday?
What do you want? The feds to pass some laws mandating Christmas trees?
This whole reverse PC thing is a laugh. It's none of your business how Chase bank decorates their lobby.

Yes, this is the irony of it. Chase set up its policy for only one reason, which is to ensure maximum profit. This is called "free market capitalism" for all you right wing Christian radicals. It has absolutely nothing to do with any "War on Christmas" or your ridiculous notion that Christians are a persecuted minority in America.

Right wing radicals are all for an unfettered free market and small government until it interferes with something they would like to shove down everyone else's throat.

This Christian is offended by it.

On my way home from errands today I looked into the lobby of the Chase bank in my neighborhood. There is in fact a christmas tree. Further reading on the story reveals that the tree in question was not a company issued tree.

Gimme the old-time USA religion. :tongue:

I am a Druid and we are all about the Tree. Real, fake, live, knitted, the more the better. We always have a GROVE in the house. That includes a couple that sing and dance. That Jesus birthday stuff was added later anyway.

QFT! Amen.


I don't really have a problem with Christmas trees, religious symbol or not, but I've never seen one I didn't think was tacky as hell. An ugly Germanic tradition which unusually (since I normally liike all things Germanic) I wouldn't mind going out of fashion.

Simple solution,put up 20 (REAL) Christmas trees and piss off the enviromentalists to boot!!

Ugh All those needles.

That's why I switched to artificial. Hearing "Tinkle tinkle tinkle" all night long of needles falling, hitting ornaments, and having to vacuum up that mess made the switch so worth it.

But boy would it be nice to be able to purchase that tree that you want to cut - but instead have it transplanted to your yard.

I would thoroughly enjoy decorating that tree every year in my yard.
Some that I've cut over the years were so pretty.. and for $50 they won't transplant them for you, even if your willing to pay extra. Bummer!

Tis the season.
