Archived Holiday Trees...

[Kompa]

Someone asked me if we had "Holiday Trees" today.

I was like, "for what?"

They was like "for Christmas"

So I was like, "Oh! Christmas Trees?"

They was like "No, we call them Holiday Trees"

In the end I said I'd check in the back and then went and clocked for the night.

Like, if your using trees for Christmas, they are Christmas Trees. What the fuck else are you going to use them for?

Lol

I would type it it as holiday tree, look it up, likely get no results.

Show them my search result for "holiday tree"

Then tell them sorry, we don't have those.

They could be pagens who are celebrating solstice or a mixed religion family who have a tree as a compromise.
Until you know someones story it pays not to make assumptions.

Ever see an Irish Grandmother throw down with an Jewish Grandmother about how to cook a brisket? As a Texan myself it should be smoked of course...

Which is why I would search Holiday Tree, instead of Christmas tree. When asked if we carry Holiday Tree's q

That said,

Hail Odin.

To be fair:
Jeremiah 10King James Version (KJV)
10 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5 They are upright as the palm tree

The bible essentially says not to cut down a tree, decorate it, and stand it upright. So it is a pagan tradition and should be called a holiday tree.

I'm an atheist but prefer to call it a Christmas tree.

I'm offended.

We started receiving our holiday trees yesterday, the boxes look a little classier this year.

Requires no decorations, I find tinsel distracting.

 

[Motorhead]

I'm agnostic and call it a Christmas Tree. Nobody calls a Menorah Candle a "holiday candle".

Hmm you're right. I think we need to remind people that Judaism exists so they remember to be offended at that, too.

Well ho ho ho!!!!

I was raised an atheist, but we always had one and always called it a Christmas tree. Holiday tree would have been fine, but I don't think anyone had come up with it yet. 🙄.
