Opinion of incorporating the cross into Christmas celebrations?

Only if placed upside down above the Sacrificial Goat.



HAIL SATAN!

Uh, how is the bolded part incorrect?

That's celebrated on the Epiphany. It's its own holy day/holiday shortly after Christmas.

Oh sure. But I thought the whole gift-giving tradition on Christmas is supposed to represent the gifts from the wise men?

No no no.  Simply stolen from well-meaning pagans and atheists.

I think Christmas should be as deChristianized as possible, so HP.

Right you are, Sol.  It's infuriating to have all this nonsense about this Jesus fellow getting in the way of my Christmas festivities.

Nah, Jesus is fine. Baby Jesus is of course adorable, and adult left-wing revolutionary Jesus is a badass. If the Christians would just let us enjoy those two versions of Jesus without trying to force this "Son of God, died for our sins blah blah blah" nonsense down our throats while we're trying to enjoy a nice egg nog or some chocolate eggs, then Jesus would be perfectly okay.

Good point.  Perhaps I'll play around with Che-mas this year.

In general, it's in bad taste to inject religion into holiday celebrations.  If you're with your family and friends, it's just awkward to bring up religion.  The point of holidays is to eat and drink and be merry, right?

Do you know why they call it a holiday?  

If there is a cross it should be discrete, nearly subliminal, as a hint of things to come.

Do you actually want to talk about religion with your family or have awkward praying in your house?  That seems like a perfect way to ruin a Christmas party.

I don't understand this.  What is the religious element of Christmas in terms of practice?  Singing Christmas songs?  No.  Overeating?  No.  Getting drunk?  No.  Giving gifts?  No.  I don't see where the religion is supposed to actually enter in.  

Well, YOU certainly don't understand conservative America.  Corporate praying with family is basically party time for these religiouses!
