Ok, there are nine lines, and potentially, Christmas could have been mentioned in at least seven of them. While reading this, "Christmas" popped into my head all the way through. They may try to take Christmas out of our sight, but they'll never take Christmas out of our hearts and minds.

Excellent point. Same here.

...but they'll never take Christmas out of our hearts and minds.

I wouldn't be so sure and I certainly wouldn't dismiss their efforts. The fact that they are even trying should give you pause. They obviously think they can pull it off, and for good reason I suspect. It's also obvious to me they have been emboldened by the lack of response from CINO's(Christians In Name Only).

Maybe they will rename it the "Spending Tree" in honor of the spending spree. That's really about all that's left.
