[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm willing to be that you are not required to participate.

A wreath, per se, is not a religious item.  People hang seasonally themed or decorative wreaths on their door all year round.  I can understand thinking maybe it's not the greatest idea, but " incredibly alienating and insensitive"?  You're overreacting.  [/quote]

Wreaths in December are not religious. Decorating with holly, ivy, and fir branches is a solstice thing, not Christian. Obviously its associated with Christmas now, but as a practicing Christian I'm perfectly aware of which traditions are religious (very few) and which are co-opted. [/quote]

I hate to break it to you, but pagan traditions are also religious.  Paganism does not equal atheist.  They just believed in different gods, and then the Christians took over their offerings to those gods.

All of these traditions have religious roots.  If you want to practice them at home, great.  None of it should be in the workplace.  period.  end of story.

Unless you are totally cool with someone who practices voodoo decorating their cubicle with the carcass of an animal they offered up, then just stop with all of the other religious-ish stuff in December.  [/quote]
