I think ATOT's head would explode if they worked at my office

Just got an email today that we will be putting up the yearly Christmas tree up on Wednesday. I for one welcome our Christian overlords.

Are we alluding to ATOTs rampant allergies to everything or is there some other problem with trees?

I believe it's because someone's workplace has the Impudence.. the Gall... indeed - the Temerity to place a harmless symbol associated with the Christian God in public view....


Therefore, as good ATOT~ers we must RAGE!!! ;)

Ah, ok. I'm putting up our tree this week and we are a religion free household. I've never really looked at the Christmas tree as a particularly Christian thing.

My work has banned them from the wards though.

Is the tree going to preach to me how God/Allah is great and science is a fallacy? No? Then we're good.

I'm going to record my readings of the Book of Psalms and play it under the tree so I can assure I can preach to everyone who steps foot inside.

"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities."

Christmas trees are hardly christian.

We've got one in the lobby at work. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. It wouldn't focus for some reason.

Some Christians simply insist on being oppressed. If no oppression is in the offing, they just make shit up to make themselves feel oppressed. It's just part of the season's festivities.
