29. LOL!
Edited on Sat Dec-16-06 05:26 PM by bigwillq
:P :)

I can't yet. I have presents to deliver! :bounce:

Do you get my point though? :shrug: Christmas IS a religious holiday.

The OP says they like the non-religious songs but then goes on to say how silent night is propaganda!!!! :wtf:

The non-religious songs are all propaganda. And all these decorations.....how tacky!

I can see religious decorations because that's really what the holiday is suppose to be about, depending on your beliefs.
But all these people that decorate the whole house, barn, shack, car........puhleeze!

Everything else about it has become so commercialized.
