Home Depot's 'miracle trees' -- another sign of the War on Christmas?

I'm sure the O.B.L. (remember him, there is a war on people!) just loves the fact that America is destroying itself from within.

Keep it up and someday,we will not have to worry about buying Chirstmas Trees.

Try to focus on the Big Picture everyone/Home Depot. PC will be the death of us all...

Don't let it happen.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Oh for God's sake.

I bet those so called 'Christians don't realize that the Christmas Tree was orgianal a pagan ritual.

Further more the early church celebrated Christmas during this time of the year to escape Roman harasment.

And there are more holidays celebrated at this time of year than just Christmas.

So just grow up and deal with it.

I went out of my way not to buy a "miracle tree" from Home Depot and instead bought a Christmas tree and two Christmas wreaths from a dealer selling Christmas trees. In addition, I bought two Christmas trees for my two kids as is my custom. Home Depot is out my $140.00 for the evergreens and a few bucks for some lights AND I'm a stockholder in Home Depot and am thoroughly ashamed of the store policy

What I don't understand is why renaming Christmas trees would be done in the first place?

I don't buy into the hype that the conservative groups spew, and I'm not offended if a store's sign says Happy Holidays (after all, isn't Christmas, which I celebrate, a holiday?). But only Christmas has trees representing their holiday, so it's not like someone celebrating Hanukkah was buying Christmas trees until now, and finally they have their respite. What gives?

Prior to 1945 this was a predominantly white,Christian nation and we have a right to have our holiday and our traditions without interference from the recent additions to our once great nation. Our culture,traditions and values were what built this nation and are now under attack from within. Christmas is just the beginning.

OMG....Wat is this country coming to...this is a diverse country and started off being a Christian country...they opened their arms to all different religions and now their own religion is being chased out by stupid stuff like what to call Christmas trees...Seriously grow up people...we have other things to worry about like our economy which is going down the drain and how the dollar is becoming useless or how the problems in our country are out of control and lets not forget the WAR we're in!!! If you dont like them being called Christmas trees then call them holiday trees dont tell other people who celebrate Christmas what to call them..I understand that stores say "holiday" because theres more than one holiday being celebrated but Haunakah does not require a tree so im sure most jewish people dont care if its called a Christmas tree or not..Im indian we celebrate Diwali around this time which has nothing to do with a Christmas tree and I sure dont care if thats what its called...People really need to get a life and think of something else to bring up!!!!

Umm..JOE how about you keep your comments to yourself...this nation is still a great nation...even thoug I am for the trees still being called Christmas trees like I stated with my earlier comment...I am not supporting ignorant people who dont realize that because of the cultural diversity in this country we have such high productivity...so how about you make your point but dont point out non christians

I am amazed over the war on Christmas! We should be putting our energy into the men and women in THE REAL WAR! Whatever you decide to call this time of year you can bet our men and women overseas and their families at home are calling this time of year the same thing.....LONESOME, WORRIED, HEARTBROKEN.
Who cares what that decorated tree is called.....or what the decorations are called....we should be decorating our men and women with honor, respect and pride.......we should let them know we are concerned baout what is really important and we appreciate all their efforts ...after all do you think they are risking their lives for to know what to call a day of the year or a symbol of that day? Get a GRIP!

I,m all grown up & now I believe in God & that JESUS is the son of GOD It's time Christians Stood up for CHRIST & put Christ back in CHRISTmas I'm 65 years old & now I can see that Christ is real & there will be a judgement & there really is a burning hell.I really feel sorry for those who will miss Heaven because of non belief of Jesus Christ.

Not all "Christians" celebrate the pagan holiday of Christmas as Christ's birth .Some of us treat it as a holiday with the good old fashioned stories of Santa Claus and presents .
Those Christians who get bent out of shape about everything from "putting Christ into Christmas" to "Christmas trees" should go back and read the history of Christmas.
And stop telling everyone we are lying to our children. Let the holiday be fun, merry and for the kids. Put a lump of coal in your stocking. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you believe it's Christ's birthday then why do you shop and support Santa? LOL

The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas.

The exact day of the Christ child's birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance of Christmas

What we don't want is anyone X'ing out Christ the holy Son of God, the creator of the universe, and the reason for Christmas!

What do don't want is anyone X'ing out Christ the holy Son of God, the Creator of the universe, and the reason for Christmas!

...A Christmas tree by any other name would be as sweet...

If "Happy Holiday: sounds so cool, why don"t the PC Police make everybody say it all the time:e.g.
like instead of Valentine"s day we say happy holiday, the same with grundhogs day etc?

Save yourself the trouble of having a crappy christmas tree and buy one from a local vendor who takes pride in offering quality FRESH trees and wreaths. Most of the so called fresh evergreen stuff at home depot was made or cut around Halloween.

Its about time we support our local businesses before they all disappear.

I purchased a miracle tree- its called a miracle tree mostly because there is no assembly required- you open the box and take out the tree and set it up. If you look at the box its no bigger than a normal artificial tree, the entire tree fits in without any disassembly or messy parts. This is the miravle of a miralce tree, it has nothing to do with christmas, kwanza, haunaka, or any other reason. Thanks for making my tree set up easy Home Depot.

Christian right wing nuts really have nothing better to do??? All the problems we face, and this is the best they can come up with??
