Most Christians whining about the ‘War on Christmas’ don’t understand this fact about the holiday’s history

But here is the real irony: For almost 500 years, the folks trying to get rid of Christmas—trying to put distance between Christian worship and mid-winter solstice festivities—were Christians themselves.

Of course none of them know much about history anyway.

Yes they do! You see, there this special book which tells them everything they need to know about history, the universe and where to stick your dick!.

The Iliad?  The Odyssey??  Mother Goose???

XMas has become a secular holiday, even for "Christians".  Tom Flynn, who worked (or, still works) for the Center for Inquiry would, however, come to work on that day, deliberately.  I do love Christmas, even as an atheist; for the first time I managed to get my Christmas tree up before Thanksgiving, lights and all.  We'll be taking it down a week after New Year's.

Xmas trees only date to Victorian times in England.

Makes sense really.... precious few fir trees in the Judaean desert and damned little snow.

No doubt; still, I like my Christmas tree like I like potato salad with onion.

Jerehmiah 10:1-5:

'Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.'

So, REAL Christians shouldn't have Christmas trees.
