A church or private home? Sure.

So no Christmas displays anywhere but a private home or church? You haven’t clarified if you mean a nativity scene or things like tree or stockings or a sleigh and reindeer. Do both types of decorations bother you?

Yes to both your questions.

What about them makes you uncomfortable?

pp said it’s religion being forced down their throat when they see Christmas displays.

Isn’t Christmas secular now?

I think it is whatever you want it to be.

One can “celebrate” Halloween Without worshiping Satan/death. One can celebrate Christmas, without believing in the Christian aspect.

Poinsettias and wreaths are fine at offices.

Halloween is a culturally appropriated day that should be returned to Pagans. As should Christmas.
The majority of you are just vile for robbing a people of their culture.

Hardly. There are those that do not celebrate the day.

It’s private property. Take it up with management.

But whatever. They're pretty, and as long as no one gets in my face about not having them at my house (not Christian), I'm cool.

And I adore traditional Christmas music - of the hymn and Handel's Messiah type, not the 50s schlocky songs. Bring it on. But not until the day after Thanksgiving, please.

Guess we better cancel the door to door Christmas police this year… I know in years past, we absolutely went door to door and interrogated homeowners on their lack of Christmas decor.

No Christmas tree? Get that reindeer in here to get in this guy’s face! Donder will show you the error of your ways. 🦌🗣️

Lots of people don’t like Christmas displays, decorations, Christmas trees, etc.

We aren't allowed to decorate for anything. A coworker brought in a poinsettia last year and was asked to remove it. She agreed to if the other plants (a fern and a peace lily) were also removed. Her poinsettia stayed.

How does one return a holiday to a group. Where are these pagans I need to hand Halloween to?

I think the point is to stop people from having fun by pretending they are “appropriating” something.

I love all holiday decorations. Vintage Easter decor is amazing.

Bring back Easter parades and Easter bonnets!

Of course they don’t offend me because I’m not out looking for reasons to be offended.
