Why lose the Christmas spirit? Christmas is for kids
I have seen this statement many times and it mades me wonder if people have forgotten what Christmas is really all about. It's not just for the kids, it's for Jesus.

"Now we know why Santa doesn't stop at the Jewish homes."
...because they don't teach their kids that he's a deity.
"Q: why are there no Christmas trees in the Seattle airport? A: Somebody Jew-ed them down!"
Apparently, Sea-Tac rejected the menorah so much, that they banned the trees, too.
"Oh holy heck!"
You believe in Hector, too? The Ancient Greeks would've liked that.
"I got an 11 foot real Christmas tree in my living room this year and if the Jews want to crucify me on it, It wouldn't be out of character for them!"
IMO, Romans could eventually crucify Santa Claus on such a tree and blame it on the Jews.

"It says a Seattle rabbi with the Central Organization for Jewish Learning hired an attorney and threatened to sue if the airport did not erect an eight-foot menorah to balance the message of the Christmas trees." How retarded. He sure is making lots of friends this way. I wonder exactly what it is he finds offensive about a christmas tree?
To: Coleus
Christmas trees are pagan or secular at best. They're morons to have wasted time on this Rabbi's misplaced complaint.

"threatened to sue if the airport did not erect an eight-foot menorah to balance the message of the Christmas trees. A menorah has nothing to do with Christmas, so how can it "Balance" the message? The Jewish holiday is long past before Christmas.
I certainly would NOT put a menorah up to appease this moron.
However, Maybe muslims would like to see a black rock or what ever muslims do for eide placed beside every menorah displayed in public since those two dates frequently collide.
To: Nathan Zachary
I actually believe the Muslims would like to see a dead Jew or Christian on a pike to make their holiday joy complete.

On the Roman calendar (the one you use), it's December 15th through the 23rd.
"However, Maybe muslims would like to see a black rock or what ever muslims do for eide placed beside every menorah displayed in public since those two dates frequently collide."
Eid is on the Roman New Year's Eve.

Christmas Is for Christ true. But It's also a day of gift giving. God gave us a gift, He gave us a savior. He started the whole gift giving thing, :o)
However, If push comes to shove from these anti Christian Morons, I say do away with the whole Christmas thing. No more presents, Christmas trees, decorating your house, stringing up lights, and all the other activities associated with Christmas.
Christians can still go to church and celebrate Christmas as we have always done. Lets take something away from the pagans who hate Christmas. Lets take away the economic boom. I'm sure that will resonate well with the business community. Other bitter, miserable hate filled creeps like that rabbi can go to work while I enjoy a feast in honor of my Savior. That rabbi can go about defying God as normal.

"I actually believe the Muslims would like to see a dead Jew or Christian on a pike to make their holiday joy complete."
And if Muslims and their various friends in religion (the biggest churches, calling for "divestment" against Israel, and the more ostensibly pagan neo-Nazis) can keep most people focused against the Jews, they'll get their wish.

Eid changes every year, Muslims go by a lunar year.
Again, as I said, the meorah has nothing to do with Christmas.
Therefore it should not be placed along side a Christmas tree.
there is no message to balance. Christmas is on dec 25 for most. (you can have two Christmas's if you like)
To: familyop
What "biggest churches" are muslim 'friends?' None that I know of.
To: se_ohio_young_conservative
Christmas is a federal holiday.
The perfect defense. Want to challenge our Christmas displays? Challenge the federal holiday. Until then, shut up and sit down. Oh, and challenge all the states, cities and counties that recognize it as well.

Not really true.
Once a tradition takes on a religious significance, it doesn't really matter where it came from. Rather, it matters what value people ascribe to that symbol at the moment.
I seriously doubt you place much religious significance in the pelican, but in medieval times, it was seen as a sign of the sacrifice of Christ, to have bled from its breast to feed its young.
Sacred? Absolutely. A reflection of the divine (if not a manifestation of the essence) in the natural world.
Religious today? Not really.
To: familyop
oops I should clarify that for you.
The jewish holiday has nothing to do with the pagan Christmas season, so there is no message to balance.
Christian Christmas is on Dec 25 for most,(Or Jan. if you go by the Julian calender) AFTER the candle stick thing.
