Ah, it begins. A wreath is now a Christian symbol.
Muslims never complain about Christian symbols scattered over the cities and towns. I wonder why not. Perhaps it's just not important to them.

As a Christian I have no problem with that at all.However,I'd draw the line at “Kwanza” decorations or any decoration connected to the Religion of Pieces.

I have some stupid questions. Bear with me please?

What’s with this business of being inclusive and celebrating diversity and all that?

About 94% of Americans celebrate Christmas. Not that this huge percentage are devout Christians, or are Christians at all, but just that this big number of people celebrate a holiday called Christmas, and call the holiday by the name of Christmas. Christmas is one of the most unifying events in our culture. So why is there a need to bend over backwards to say, what about that remaining 6%, they feel excluded and all that???

Which leads me to another point and another stupid question. Why is it okay to call the Gay Pride Parade the Gay Pride Parade?? Based on the liberal logic on Christmas, since not everyone is gay and not everyone celebrates gay pride, don’t the rest of us feel excluded or offended by the mention of the Gay Pride Parade?? Yet nobody ever talks about the issue of gay pride excludes big number of people. ON that issue, liberal and radical types do not care that it is not inclusive and a unifying event.

I would not mind a menorah there at all.

But should I spy the loathsome symbol of Islam, we’re talking some midnight vandalism.

To me the term: “Happy Holidays” is just the liberal world getting round not having to say “Merry Christmas” -

From Ms. Weissman’s point of view, they ARE Christian, since they are not Jewish symbols of Hannukhah.

From the time I was a young child, ‘Christmas wreaths’ have hung from many a front door, across America, and hung with glee.

For a politician to call them ‘secular’, would mean that they represent any and all faiths celebrated in the same time frame.

Wreaths are pagan and have no meaning.

This lady is an idiot and probably related to Barney Frank.

Christians should pray for an end to the wicked observance of unbiblical holy days, for a geniune Christian revival and America covenanting with God and bowing the knee to Jesus Christ.

In a Christian nation, there are 52 holy days per year, the Christian sabbath, the Lord’s Day.

The entire Gospel message is celebrated every Lord’s Day by God’s people.

Since Christmas is supposed to commemorate the birth of Jesus whom these people do not believe in to begin with I can not see that it makes any difference what they call it.

And why would any Christian want to include a nativity scene along side the heathen scene?

Wreaths are nothing but man made ornaments.

This type of celebration was used as a type of worship to some heathen God long before Jesus was even born.

Jeremiah 10
10 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

Green and red are the colors of Christmas - green for the everlasting life promised by those who live in spirituality and red for the blood of Christ.

Wreaths are not, even to the slightest degree, secular.

The nuns told me that Christmas Wreaths are a Christian symbol of eternity like the Wedding Ring.

Christians kept these popular traditions alive, and by the 16th century Catholics and Protestants throughout Germany used these symbols to celebrate their Advent hope in Christ
