The secular holiday season. Is it really this hard for you to understand?
What's the holiday for then?
This is a load of bollocks. He is celebrating Christmas, but pretending he isn't, even though he's doing Christmasy things......

Bungle you just won't understand because you lack the world view necessary to place yourself into others' shoes. How sad.

Where did I say I was celebrating Christmas? I like holiday trees. They look nice and make an excellent excuse to throw a party. I can only get them in December. What's so hard about that to understand?

Other peoples's shoes? Like I said: bollocks.
You didn't, but we all know that's exactly what you are doing. If it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
Nope. I don't celebrate Christmas because I am not a Christian, and I don't participate in the commercialized non-religious side of the holiday either. I just like the trees.
If I had it my way, Christmas would not be a federal holiday and you'd have to work just like any other day. Those who want to take time off to observe Christmas would have to use one of their personal days.

the use of christmas tree in celebration pre dates christianity, as its from the pagan winter solstice celebration; also the carol ` deck the halls with boughs of holly` - straight and pure paganism again as evergreen boughs were and are used in the winter solstice celebration.
modern use of christmas tree`s dates to mid 1800`s and the `tradition` was brought to england from germany successfully by queen victoria - the usa followed starting the tradition in the late 1800`s (1870 onwards)

Secular holiday tree... Seriously, that's stretching it to an extreme. "I don't celebrate Christmas but I do want presents and shiny trees, so I'll just take those and... Well, that'll do." Cute.
