If some brain dead PC liberal called a Christmas tree a Holiday tree in front of me I would have to call them holiday fruit cake.

Oh, my. Isn't the word "holiday" itself taken from "Holy Day"? If that is correct, what ever will they do??

At least Target Stores are willing to acknowledge Christmas; they are offering a set of plates called the "Cheeses of Nazareth." I am not making this up.

"Oh, Holiday Tree,
Oh, Holiday Tree,
How lovely are your branches..."

You're right. It just doesn't work.

Give them a demonstration of why the custom of having an angel on the top of the tree came to be.

Yes. When people wish me "Happy Holidays", I respond with "Thanks - and Happy Holy Days to you, too."
