Winter Holiday? Options

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

Around here places are no longer selling Christmas trees. They are selling Holiday trees instead. People refrain from using the term Christmas tree for fear of offending those who do not celebrate Christmas. I am unaware of any holiday during december that uses a Christmas tree, so why do we need to change the name?

Now, Christmas is the most main stread holiday out there. Not everyone celebrates it, but it is very highly advertised. If it is such a popular holiday why must the media deny it's meaning? It celebrates the birth of Christ, however people often dance around that because they do not want to offend others.

Should there be a new holiday for buying presents, one that has no religious ties? Or should Chirstmas be Christmas and not "The Winter Holiday"? I'd especially like to hear from those of you who do not celebrate Christmas.

Christmas tree's are christmas tree's not winter trees...wtf. The occasion is called chistmas not winter, so I see what you're saying, why must they change it. I have a chistmas tree, tisel, lights, ornaments, etc and I get presents, I don't celebrate the birth of christ or whatever b.c I'm not catholic which is totally understandable, but when people get offended my one religeons occasion then f!ck them. Chistmas has been around for a long time, it's just an occasion, I don't see what's so offending about it, nobodys asking them to buy the christmas trees. I don't find any occasion of any religeon offending, except halloween, but that's a whole different story. My point is, some people are just making up excuses, to the best of my knowledge christianity is the/one of the most popular religeons, it's only a few decorations, it's not as if it's saying f!ck -insert religeon here-'s. Shops can't sell decorations for every single religeon. America, I think, is a Christian continent/country/whatever the hell america is, UK is a Protestant country, India I think is muslin I THINK, you get the idea right, what shops sell is based on what that country's main religeon is. It's not meant for offense.
