This is an outrage! It is a blatant violation of the separation between church and state!
(Harrier pretending to be a liberal).
You're doing a bad job of it. Christmas trees don't actually have much to do with religion. We're atheists and we have a huge one in our house right now. We also have a box of Candy cane Joe Joes, which also have nothing to do with religion and everything to do with BEING DELICIOUS.

Thought Christians believed the very name "Christ" was supposed to have some sort of power. Odd that you would tell anyone to refrain from saying it. That sounds like something only an over-the-top antireligious atheist would say.
Which side are you (claiming to be) on again? I don't recall.
I like them. Going to start putting mine up tonight.
What I would like to know is why is there no Halloween tree?
I've actually given this some thought. It's really kind of stupid to drag a tree in for a few weeks each year only to toss it out, or to store a fake on in the garage (guilty) just to have to dig it out every December. It makes more sense to me to actually have living plants, shrubs, trees, etc. in and around your place year round. Then you can decorate it to fit the holidays or even your mood. Or not. I can totally get behind skulls and black cats, easter eggs and bunnies, hearts and cupids....all on a rotating basis. People already do this with decorative flags a whatnot. It can be an everything tree!
I like real plants in the house put I prefer them decoration free.
I was watching the White House Christmas tree being delivered on TV. There was a banner on the trailer that said White House Christmas Tree. It was described on the news as being a Christmas tree. CHRISTMAS tree. Just wanted to be sure that no one missed that it is, indeed, a CHRISTMAS tree. So if someone, at some point, refers to it as a "holiday tree" and you feel the urge to be offended by such reference or are afraid that Muslims, Jews or atheists are chipping away at Christmas, rest easy. It has, indeed, been publicly established as an actual Christmas tree. In observance of Christmas. You heard it here first
You should tell this guy: He believes that laws are being "sought" that make Christmas trees illegal....

The war between good and evil is still going strong.
