The adventures of Mommy woman
Published on November 30, 2005 By JillUser In Current Events

I was recently made aware of the new PC movement to call Christmas trees "Holiday" trees.  Oh come on!  You don't have to be christian to call it a Christmas tree! 

I personally wouldn't buy a "holiday" tree or "holiday tree ornaments".  Why are Americans bent on trying to change such well established traditions?  I find it interesting that a lot of these people leading this movement are liberal whackos who are always pointing at how much better Europeans do things.  Well guess what, Europe has kept traditions that are older than our country.  Most of our oldest traditions come from Europe.  Why would you want to wipe them out?

I think it is incredibly sad that anyone have to think twice about wishing someone a Merry Christmas.  So what if you aren't Christian.  You can honor the christian holiday just like you are expecting your faith or lack there of to be honored.  What is so bad about a holiday based on wishes of peace on Earth and good will toward man?

I just wish we could call it a "Christmas party" instead of a "winter party"

I live in a small town and everything is still "Christmas".  As far as I know, nobody has complained.  All the elementary kids also participate in our "Christmas in the Village" parade and make all sorts of Christmas stuff in school.  They also have a Senior Citizens Christmas lunch with the kids.  It seems like there are a lot of adults that take all the fun out of being a kid.  I also don't know what would be so wrong in having "Christmas" celebrations as a way of learning about the national holiday.   I also think it's funny that people will take the time off from work without complaint even if they don't celebrate "Christmas".

Our CHRISTMAS tree this year.

Don't look at the room...its the smallest one in the house and has received no attention since we moved in...which I will correct after the Holy day.

Beautiful tree there, Tova!

We also have to refer to our Christmas party as our "Winter" party...

Absolutely beautiful Christmas tree Tova! Thanks so much for sharing it. I am having a Christmas tree trimming party on Saturday. Our tree is 12 feet so I just don't want to handle it by myself this year. Good excuse to share some Christmas cheer with some close friends too.

I love the train around the tree too!
