Our neighbors don't mess with our stuff. When my husband cleans his guns, he does it on the front porch. Usually 2 at a time.
It's not so much that I get mad at people who call themselves christian calling particular things christmas decorations or traditions. I understand that early church leaders took the traditions of the area and incorporated them into the new religion to get the people to go to the church. This happened all over the world at various times with various religions.
I think it is funny when there is a christmas tree in a church. I think it is funny when the pope in the vatican talks about the fir tree being a symbol of christ. I am amused, I'll leave it to Jesus Christ to be pissed. I don 't think this is the sort of thing he would have wanted. Next he'll be saying easter eggs are symbols of the apostles.
