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.

Well Chistmas trees have nothing to do with Jesus. They are pre historic heathen Germanic tribal ritual relics incorporated into Christianity. If the Good Lord saw us and the way we worship these trees, he wouldn't set the trees on fire, like the ancient Germanics did, he would set us on fire.

I thought you were making this up and just had to check it myself. Yep...Cheeses of Nazareth isn't a joke. Target thinks the word "Christmas" is offensive to some people, but doesn't anticipate that "Cheeses of Nazareth" might offend? Cognitive disconnect!

I think we should start calling them 'Birth of the Savior of the World trees!'

My first reaction when I hear the PC police have been at it again is that these people have waaaaaaaay to much time on their hands.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

How about "Non-denominational Seculary Day of Observance" trees?

"Christians should boycott any store that refers to their trees as "Holyday" Trees instead of Christmas Trees. "

Thats what I would do....I would never buy one from
anyone that called it anything but what it is, A CHRISTMAS TREE !.
Well, I have been living in the country for 30 years and have not had to buy one in ages.
I have cut my own since 1972.

Unbelievable! Next thing you know, they'll change the name of my favorite Christmas movie from "Ernest Saves Christmas" to "Ernest Saves Kwanza" or "Ernest Saves Ramadan".

[MizSterious]

Uhhhh. Yeah. So what???
