In my culture St Nick leaves magic mushrooms under your tree. The ripped version of putting gifts under it is disappointing. I want the shrooms so I too can fly in a sleigh pulled by ruminants.
A Christmas tree is simply not a religious symbol. Nor is Merry Christmas a religious blessing. I wouldn't be put out if some said "Happy Holidays" to me, because it's the same thing basically.

They can say whatever they want to me. I'll return whichever version of it they use on me. Anyone who gets annoyed over semantics really needs to get a life.
Personally I do my best to ignore xmas. Not because of my lack of belief but because it was always a horrible time of year when I was a kid. I dont really have anything positive to associate with it. But outside of the home if someone says Merry Xmas or Happy Holidays I consider it to be the same as if they were saying Hi any other time of year, not as some sort of insult like some on both sides of the issue seem to take it.

Not that you have to, but you can make the holiday season into anything you want it to be. You don't have to let childhood experiences dictate how you view the rest of your life.
Just saying.
You're on to something. I'd email my MP but he's useless.
I'm sorry that you have such sad memories of Xmas, but why not turn it into a positive, like give a turkey to a hungry family or shovel a senior's driveway?
New flash for you, Petros, there's about 308 of them that are useless! -
Mine is a kid who is so useless he made speaker of the house. There isn't a more useless job than being the speaker.New flash for you, Petros, there's about 308 of them that are useless! -

MPs should be spayed and or neutered to stop the spread of entitlement and stupidity.
He is mute when it comes to representing his riding.Could be worse, at least he's not a mute!
Good to see good old right wing common sense prevailing over left wing stupidity and intolerance.
