    The wreath is circular, thus representing God's never-ending nature, reinforced by the evergreen branches.

    And it looks nice.

    I'll give Target a modicum of credit: they at least waited until after Halloween to go full blast with the Christmas stuff.

    It is possible, despite the popular sentiment around here.

    No, it's not Tunick. If you ever have good coffee you'll learn it's generally not Murican coffee, and never Starbucks. Come on now. Don't be silly. I have a New Zulund friend in LA now, I can ask him if there's anywhere that does acceptable or good coffee and tell you so you can have your mind exploded and life changed, if you want.

    The best Christmas song is Polish. But I'm not posting it yet.
    Got Sinterklaas to deal with first.

    And don't forget about the snowboarding dog on a previous holiday cup, who was clearly snowboarding down to Bethlehem to visit baby Jesus in the manger and bring him Starbucks coffee as an offering.

    I for one am not particularly religious and I love Christmas, but I despise seeing "Christmas mince pies" stacked next "scary Halloween masks" and we all know why they do it, by selling Christmas products months before Christmas they can make up graphs and pie charts to show the stockholders and say "hey look our Christmas profits are up this year!" I've been thinking for a while that I should start a petition to ban Christmas advertising before bonfire night.

    Can't understand what people get offended about. It's my favourite time of year (OK mostly because I earn plenty of $$$$$ at my website) Everyone should just get 8-}and enjoy! [face_party]

    Okay, favorite Christmas song: Please Come Home for Christmas as performed by Don Henley and the Eagles. Love that 3/4 time and the bluesy feel. Always make me feel homesick for the house I lived in most of my life, which no longer exists, and for people in my family who are no longer around. Bittersweet is the word I'm looking for.

    Count me as another liberal atheist who loves Christmas who is offended by it starting in October. I love the lights, the trees, most of the songs.


    Giving gifts stresses me out big time, but that isn't solely a X-mas problem.

    The only people who should be offended by those new Starbucks cups are people with red-green color blindness.

    I never understood people who get offended when someone puts up a nativity scene or something similar. They believe in all that stuff and that's dandy. If you don't, that's ok too. If you cause a stir because you had to SEE something displayed that you don't believe in, you're nothing more than a crybaby. Just go home and sit down til that feeling goes away. And don't reproduce. Haha

    "Even atheists make me roll my eyes sometimes. Like when they sued to have a cross taken down from a building. Oh for ***** sake, we are atheists not vampires. If you can’t handle seeing a cross now and then, you picked the wrong country.” - Bill Maher
