A War on Christmas?

There are those on Fox promoting a fake war on Christmas while they ignore a real war on Christmas. The question that we at the blog, "Christianity and the Confusion" are asking is what is Christmas all about? Surely, not trees, presents or even old Saint Nick. To stir up emotions over a fake war on Christmas while ignoring the real one which is being waged by the very people who are screaming about the fake war is outrageous. We offer you this video to pass on to anyone who claims that Liberals are waging war on Christmas.

It looks to cold to be going around without your pants...
But the scene behind is great...and when fresh snow is falling on the trees it has a wonderful effect on the acoustics.

I assure everyone that I was fully dressed. Unfortunately, in the move my good camera was stolen and the one which I am forced to use is only a hundred dollar one and is quite limited. For one thing, I cannot check the setting of the camera before the recording. I will be very glad when I can buy a new camera, but until then I'll have to make do. I hope that the message of the video is as impressive as the scenery.

It is about time the Christians start calling bullshit on the conservative memes...they should be the ones that are offended by it.
But you have a great back yard...there is something special about the woods filling up with snow.

McDonald's is forcing it's employees to work Christmas day and if that wasn't enough they are refusing to pay overtime for a Holiday. My opinion is that these companies which force their employees to work Christmas or Thanksgiving should be shut down. When I was a teen (more years ago than I wish to think about) I worked in a casino restaurant in Reno and even they closed for Christmas.

As to my backyard, yes I feel very blessed. I bought this home just six months ago and love it. I don't know if you know Oregon, but I live on a mountain just east of Portland.

7. I can't imagine why anyone would go to McDonald's for Christmas.

Unless they were open to feed the homeless on that day....but profit is there only concern.

I lived in Portland as a child...back in the 50s...Oregon is indeed a beautiful state, with many magnificent forests
You are blessed indeed.

And the gent had a point. It shouldn't be politicized. None of pundits shrieking War on Christmas are in the least bit interested in love and brotherhood.
