Christmas is not "technically" a pagan holiday and trying to say so does not make one hip or edgy.
Hey, if you're okay with being wrong, that's fine with me.

In the meantime, Thanksgiving is in danger of ceasing to be the great holiday we had before. It'll be renamed Black Thursday, the national shopping celebration, and more and more people will be required to work that day. Why aren't they protesting THAT? BTW, we were at Starbucks today...the cups look good!
Aren't they the same ones who complain about blacks always complaining about "false injustice"? Oh, the irony.

Christmas is my favorite Holiday but, I would not have even noticed the latest starbucks cup. Company should be able to do what it wants to do. If I don't like it then I will just shop somewhere else.

I want to know if this pastor has shares and wanted to bring attention to nothing.......may have been a good move for him, as we all complain about the "Red Cups" with no reindeer or snowflakes, after all this is what Jesus is about.

Have there been any verified real people and groups of people complaining or just social media accounts you have no direct experience with? Sorry I have a hard time believing this story is not being blow 100% out of proportion by the media. Remember the hubub about the african american actor in star wars? Was a couple of fake twitter accounts trolling, the media ran with it from there.
