What do you guys think? I mean like Christmas decorations, Tree with Angel on top, Christmas Eve putting cookies and milk out for Santa, Christmas Gifts, Families together...All the holidays and special events like Halloween are getting watered down every year because of Political Correctness and its a joke...So with Christmas being the main one..Do yous think it will be around then? with the same traditions?

it better stay around.
why the fuck should we get rid of our celebrations just cause people who follow a different religion, who get taken in by our country, come in n start bossing us around?
They get money and a home given to them. Yet try to change our way of life.
If theres one thing that pisses me off about immigrants its when they do that.
Ungrateful bastards.

I've been working hard to turn it into a gay holiday.
Family friendly of course.

In that case, I don't think I'd like it much there either. I hate political correctness.
If certain politicians get it their way, in 25 years I'll have to apologize for my ethnicity and celebrate christian, jewish, muslim and buddhist holidays in order not to step on anyone's feelings.

Lol that seems to be the case these days in most places.
Dont you know, over here we get complaints for celebrating St Georges day now because it offends the immigrants.
No mind, they can build their places of worship all over the place and not get a fucking whisper thrown at them over it.

Well I don't mind immigration as long as I get to keep my fucking identity and not seeing my country turn into the middle east. What is so fucking beyond comprehension is seeing politicians everywhere fall to their knees and obey every command the immigrants utter, scared to death of being accused of racism. Makes me sick to see the authorities treat immigrants like little kids while shitting on everyone else. It's actually an insult to the immigrants, as well as everyone else. What makes sense in any country is to treat everyone, immigrant or not, as equals, but the way they are reacting to immigrants only shows that they are scared of ethnic and religions minorities and don't consider them mature enough to be treated like regular people. Fuck politicians everywhere.

I wouldnt have an issue with them practicing there ways here. If they didnt try to change other peoples ways because it doesnt correspond to there ways.
Its not just middle eastern immigrants.
The polish (they immigrate to the UK in strength) are just as bad and are one of the main contributors to the complaints about sporting the english red and white flag.
Not ALLl immigrants are like this. i mean one kid at my college is Hindu, but he still celebrates Christmas anyway to join in with the festivities....and milk his parents for presents.
See i dont mind that all. He doesnt complain, he doesnt have to join in. But he does for the fun of it. Thats cool/
Its a shame more dont think like him.

It's a silly question whose aim is to rile up the masses. "My religion's under attack!" bullshit.
No, Christmas is not going anywhere.
Nobody's taking your (or my) Christmas tree away. Nobody's taking your angel (or my star) off the top of your tree. Nobody's making your Christmas Eve cookies or my Christmas-time buckeyes illegal (though with all the ridiculous calories they should be!
).
Thanksgiving turkeys, Halloween pumpkins, and Easter bunnies will be safe Malcolm. Don't worry.

Christmas will still be around because the religious right wants it around. Religious holidays are alright by them, it's the non-religious, or those of religions they fear that they don't want around.
Like the pagan celebration of Halloween. The religious right hates Halloween, which is why it has been getting the shaft and being made out to be way more dangerous than it ever has been or ever will be for the past 10 years or so.

If gay male couples, and the children they gave birth to, hanging hemp tote bags on the home fusion generating station, while their genetically improved pet panda bear plays piano and sings religion-neutral carols can be considered traditional, then I would have to say YES! An we can blame it all on Obama, too! I have seen the future!

Dude...Christmas is a hybrid-holiday - The PAGANS, Norse, Saxons, Egyptians, etc - all celebrated a major 'holiday' (festival) near the Winter Solstice. The Romans used their own ingenious method of combining just enough of everyone elses religion, to make forced conversion not-so-distasteful. Besides, what the hell does fat-man-in-red-suit have to do with religion? Get your pagan ass out there and enjoy!

It's all too much PC shit. The easily offended atheists think any religious displays are an affront to their existence, so they attack Christmas, Easter, etc. The wingnut Christians are offended by other holidays, like Halloween which they think is Satanic (whilst ignoring the pagan roots of most Christmas traditions). And all the while, people get more and more pissed off because the population gets larger but the fucking parking lots at the fucking malls stay the same size!
I try to avoid the
angry
Christmas that is everyone fighting over shit and praying to commercialism, because it's depressing. If you're not close family (spouse, sibling, parent, in-law) you get homemade candy from us for Christmas. It's nice, personal, and people like it. If you're close family, you get candy and some other gifts. But I honestly look around and think "what the fuck do I even need?" when people ask me what I want.

No better gift than the gift of laughter.
Until 'they' come to my house with guns drawn, Christmas will be celebrated my way, in my home...it does bother me that people get all uptight and offended by people who go nuts with lights, and the lights fans who hate the baby jesus tents, and the rest of the BS...but I will still have my decorated tree (pagan), and tell my kids about Santa (another hybrid) until they are old enough to know I'm lying...and I will tell them the baby jesus/donkey tent story so when my neighbor puts that up they'll get it. Christmas is just like every other Holiday, a great excuse to get together with family, and celebrate in whatever way you choose/for whatever reason you want/believe.
