Should Christmas trees be called holiday trees?
No, they are Christmas trees.
Yes, the Nazis tried to replace Christmas with Wintersonnenwende and the Soviets tried with New Year. If foreign socialists can give it a shot so can American ones!!
Maybe, but if they do manage to steal Christmas what can they have the Grinch try to steal?

How about a festivas tree?
Waiting to see how long it takes for someone to get the reference...
How many religions use a pine tree as a symbol?

It is a Festivus Pole.
Festivus for the rest of us.
With only 47 votes so far, Christmas trees are winning ;)
sorry for the misspelling-
Well done. Only 6 posts in.
The Festivus celebration includes four major components:
* The Festivus Pole: The Costanzas' tradition begins with a bare aluminum pole, which Frank praises for its "very high strength-to-weight ratio." During Festivus, an unadorned aluminum pole is displayed. The pole was chosen apparently in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees, because it is "very low-maintenance," and also because the holiday's patron, Frank Costanza, "find[s] tinsel distracting."
* Festivus Dinner: The Festivus dinner menu is flexible, but it should be filling non-holiday comfort food (no turkey, duck, goose, or ham). The televised dinner featured what may have been meatloaf or spaghetti in a red sauce. (Presumably, an entree in a red sauce is more festive.)
* The Airing of Grievances: At the Festivus dinner, each participant tells friends and family all of the instances where they disappointed him or her that year.
* The Feats of Strength: The head of the family tests his or her strength against one participant of the head's choosing. Festivus is not considered over until the head of the family has been pinned to the ground. A participant is allowed to decline to attempt to pin the head of the family only if they have something better to do instead. Other, imaginative, Feats of Strength have been developed, including washer tossing.
We will be buying our Christmas tree this weekend. Our favorite thing to do is watch all the hippies try to dig their trees out of the frozen ground so they can replant it later. We then loudly fire up the chainsaw, cut our tree down and leave while they are taking water breaks, and trading off the shovel to their partner cause their back seized up. :) Good times!
Why, thank you!
