It does make one feel sad in a way for those placing it. Kind of says if they can't enjoy the Christmas season, then by damn their hoping no one else can either. The display exacts no pleasure for those placing it, other than knowledge that it might lessen someone else's happiness.


Yup

Not at all. I'd bet the family they'd shake their head at this business with the rest of us.

lol no it's not. I know plenty of non-Mexican Americans who celebrate Cinco de Mayo and non-Irish Americans who celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

edit: Some holidays take on meaning besides their original meaning. Many Christmas traditions actually come from concurrent non-Christian holidays that were simply adopted by those who celebrated Christmas.

Today, Christmas is as much a cultural holiday as it is a religious holiday.
