Maybe it is time to start raising a big whine about the commercialization of Christmas anyway. OBJECT to companies using the phrase “Merry Christmas” and using your religion to sell products. Even OBJECT to the use of your symbols and maybe even of the traditional red and green. Try turning it around on them because they have just been USING Christianity for a very long time. Who needs them and their mostly tainted Chinese smelly imports anyway? Cookies are without meaning unless someone you love bakes them with TLC. How about just ONE Christmas where everybody rejects commercialization?

HA...had a conversation with my 16 yo niece this summer..we were talking about Christianity....since she is uneducated and unbelieving in Christianity (except by me)....I asked her why she celebrated CHRISTmas which she loves.....since it is Christ’s Mass....I think this year she will be really thinking about it differently. Unfortunately she’s not unusual....there is so much secularization of Christmas - it’s just a reason to PARTEEEE.

Yeah!!!

I was on a thread yesterday, about Chinese products and how their might not be enough of them on the shelves this Christmas. A Freeper there suggested the same. Make your own presents, bake up some cookies, make some fudge, spend time as a family and pray. Real radical stuff.

Have a REAL Christmas instead of the highly commercialized, make money off those stupid Christians, while we make Christians the butt of slander the rest of the year, businesses.

I’m with you on it!!

I used to think that. But I decided if capitalists don't mind celebrating Christmas, then I don't mind celebrating free-market capitalism, because God knows that socialism and communism would never return the favor!
