I read a first-person story about a Jewish woman who grew up rather sheltered. When she did finally visit the home of a gentile friend over the Christmas season, she was scared of the tree! Scared of a Christmas tree.The tree is not holy. It will not burn you or convert you. It might even yield a gift.
I've been unreligious for a long time, but I still put up a tree, and I call it a Christmas tree. Nobody's zinging bolts of lightning at me for that. I think I'm safe.
You wanna say "holidays" instead of "Christmas"? I'm OK with that.
But I will not have Bill O'Reilly telling me what to do.
Still, funny.

The Brown-Mice are most ecumenical in our willingness to join in any form of seasonal cheer - so long as there is feasting and loud, drunken, singing! Whheeee, 'tis the season falalalalalala
Mouse: Yeah. You say "ecumenical," I say "catholic." Hah! You sound merry and happy. Kisses to you both and skritches for the felines.
Cookie, catholic is fine, so long as it's the small c :) (an it was, don't think I didn't notice)
Smoochies all round!
