Good points made in the article about Christmas trees and such not even being religious in nature. But so what if they were? I am so into Christmas displays that I go out walking at night in the frigid cold (and snow) to see the displays of my neighbors. Fortunately my town has not succumbed to the political correctness Nazis - the town center is still lit up and decorated every December.

Celebrating Christmas was illegal in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, When Congregationalism was disestablished as the state's official religion, celebration was again barely tolerated, but not encouraged. The bay state bastards wouldn't even release Maine for statehood until 1820, so Unitarians and Baptists could breathe easier.

I disagree. The cut Christmas tree was a symbol of Germany's break with paganism. Supposedly Martin Luther brought the first Christmas Tree to England as a symbol of peace and goodwill towards Germany.
