Actually, it was something called "common sense" - and apparently it is pretty rare on this forum.

Another year has gone by fast and it's time to pull out, and dust off, the war on Christmas bull crap. Endless fox news coverage of commies and socialist car bombing corner Christmas tree lots.

To be honest, I don't care what people call it, but I would also rather not sit back and watch christianity swallow up more of society. I mean....people do realize christmas didn't come from christians right? They straight up stole it on their world domination quest.

I thought the "problem" with Halloween was a joke until I ran across an acquaintance in town today and talked about it. He asked if I celebrated Halloween. I replied that since I'm middle aged, I don't go trick or treating and I'm past the age of costume parties with friends. He then proceeded to tell me about how Jesus died for his sins and how Halloween was a celebration of satan (!).
He was being very nice about it so i said that to me, a plastic Halloween pumpkin has about as much to do with satan as a lighted nodding reindeer as t do with Jesus.

Anyway, the guy has problems wth Halloween of a religious nature. Cripes can't kids get dressed up in costumes and have a little fun outside at night in the dark without someone getting bent out of shape?

I wouldn't lose any sleep over this.

I guess I haven't kept up with that stuff since the kids moved out.

I guess you haven't had kids in school for the past 25 years or so. This issue has been going on that long.
