We trudged a mile or two through about a foot of snow in 30 degree weather for a tree that looked no better than the beautiful blue spruce we get for the same price from Home Depot.

NHJackie Member Registered: 09/22/05 Posts: 868 Loc: Merrimack, NH	I think this whole comtroversy is rather silly. A Christmas Tree is a Christmas tree, so why call it something else? You don't have to celebrate Christmas to appreciate how beautiful this symbol is! I agree with those who said political correctness has gotten out of hand. I just came from a party where we discussing this. Did you know that one of the most respected rabbis in the northeast has come out in favor off calling them Christmas trees? I think that says it all. If we can't respect each others' beliefs and traditions at this season, when will we? Just a thought.

Bluebird Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 2560 Loc: Pagosa Springs, Colorado	Jackie, that DOES say it all! I have come to the conclusion that people of different faiths do NOT have a problem with someone else's faith and customs. It is people with NO faith, that cause all these issues.

Vi Member Registered: 05/21/05 Posts: 252	We could debate the whole faith, no faith issues. That's a value judgement - that all it is. Your values verses mine verses someone elses. And we all feel we have to be right. The best choice is not to get our tails in knots. We can just ignore the whole thing. It really doesn't matter in the scheme of things.

Bluebird Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 2560 Loc: Pagosa Springs, Colorado	It does matter if the agenda is to push Christ out of our society. This nation was founded on religious freedom, but it seems lately that many are tolerant of all religions, except Christianity. I'm not going to argue with people about it, I must celebrate the way I know is right, but I guess it is still troubling to those of us who stand for Christ.
