QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. — A reference to the name “Christmas treeâ€

My niece lives in Queen Creek, and she was outraged over all of this.
Why does a minority few have to ruin it for everyone else? It makes no sense, and I for one am tired of it.

If we can display the manorrah (sp), footbaths in public places, Kwansa etc. we should be able to celebrate CHRISTMAS, after all these are celebrations that a small minority of people in this country believe in. Why should Christians be punished for being Christians. It is a shame that we can't standup and have a backbone to tell people that are offended to bug off. Tolerance is one thing, but enough is enough.

Celebrating Christmas is part of our American heritage, not Kwansa and all the others. So if anyone gets offended by this, then tough! We want to keep our American traditions, so if you don't like it, go to your own country and celebrate your traditions your way! Do not impose yours on us!

I'm sorry but I think you impose this on yourself the moment you allowed for this aberration to happen . The same way the others fight and protest you are the silent majority who accept and keep quiet ..

I know of a great many people who do speak up. The problem is, they are intentionally not heard. The ones that ARE listended to are the ones who want to rid us of our American roots and traditions.
Christmas for example, is a Christian celebration of the birth of Christ. What was this country founded on? Christianity! It was not founded on Budism, Islam, Pagan Goddess Worship or Atheism.
I have not been quiet about it, and I know of many who aren't either.

This movement started not long ago, but the others have been demanding for a long time.
The PC avoided complains .It was rude...
I have returned mercahndise when I wished Merry Christhmas and the person answer me "Happy Hollydays", and I was together with a friend who got angry with me . I wasn't been polite and I was behaving like an uneducated person .

You didn't behave badly, and maybe your friend just didn't understand at the time.

Wouldn't it be great if all the citizens of that town put a decorated tree in their yard with a sign next to it saying "CHRISTMAS TREE"

My mom's friend did that last year, except the sign was on top of the tree. It was the best! That is until birds started pooping on it.
