Subject: Your opinion on "holiday" trees

Boltshot = mini shotgun

It's a tree that you put up for Christmas.
Christmas + Tree = Christmas tree

Hopefully this won't turn political or religious.

I really don't care what people call it, I call them Chirstmas Trees. If people call them Holiday Trees, that's fine too.
This. Who the hell cares what we call them?

If it's a religious holiday, why would you change the name to something secular? I don't get it.


A better question is, why would anyone care? If I have a tree and I want to call it a "holiday tree", what difference does it make to you?

Math rules the world.

Depends, if it was decorated to celebrate Christmas it is a Christmas tree. If it was decorated to celebrate multiple holidays it is a holiday tree. Simple logic.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Stick to religious tradition and call them Christmas trees
Pine trees are not religious symbols in any way.
Millions would disagree.
Then they will disagree, but as a Christian myself, pine tress have no significance to me.

The thing is in this situation it works the other way. Its people telling others they cant call it a Christmas tree.

It's not a Christmas tree if you don't have candles on it.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Call it whatever, I don't care.

I really dont care. If someone is offended by something like that, they have major issues.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

I don't celebrate Christmas or Easter of follow any of the religions that celebrate those holidays, but I have no problem with people calling Christmas trees "Christmas trees." Holiday trees are just stupid and people are way too sensitive.

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.

What are Holiday trees? Are they similar to Christmas trees?

OT: They are Christmas trees. That's the name they are called by, and it would be impossible to get even anywhere near a large amount of people to call them Holiday trees.

I somehow feel that most people just don't care, and would call it by what they are used to.

I'm not against calling it Christmas trees, but the argument on the other side is that the government shouldn't prefer one religion over another.

Yeah, it does. But some people act as if someone calling an evergreen tree that symbolizes a holiday in late December a "holiday tree" is somehow an attack on their beliefs.

Its people telling others they cant call it a Christmas tree.

Who says that? Do they have any reason why?
