This happened in Australia, but here in America there seems to be an outright war on Christianity and a push to sanitize Christmas, making it more X-mas and less CHRISTmas. For example, in Florida, an HUD residence told a tenent that she couldn't put up decorations that were religious. Only secular. No angels. No manger scenes. No depictions of Jesus. In Fort Collins, CO, the mayor placed a ban on red and green lights. You could only use white lights. And no religious figures there either. When are we gonna take back our country?

HUD facility can do that??? Is it in writing? UGH! My mom would move out! She'd absolutely hate that! That hit a note. We've been looking at residences for her in our area.

Time to use the ugly guy er smiley ewww!

What in the heck is wrong with red and green lights? Where does Christianity have a monopoly on red and green lights? Has anyone noticed the color of traffic lights in that town? Last time I checked, the three wise men didn't bring Jesus red and green lights.

The True Meaning Behind The Christmas Colors

Why are Red and Green Christmas Colors?

The colors red and green are commonly associated with Christmas and might as easily be referred to as Christmas colors. Of course, we all enjoy these Christmas colors, but you might be wondering how red and green became synonymous with Christmas. If you’ve ever wondered why we deck everything out in these festive primary shades, you’ll be happy to know we have the answer.



Celebrate Life
Green signifies life. You probably remember this from high school biology class. Plants depend on chlorophyll for life. With respect to Christmas, green symbolizes the hope for eternal life that Jesus offers. There are so many ways that we now incorporate Christmas colors, green in particular, into our Christmas celebrations. Evergreen trees are green and are commonly associated with Christmas as are many Christmas lights, Christmas ornaments and bows.
Celebrate the Sacrifice

The color red also has deep origins too. Red is intended to symbolize the blood of Jesus. At Christmas time, we see red everywhere. Santa sports red with his popular costume. Most Christmas decorations contain some red too.
The combination of the Christmas colors red and green are also part of annual Christmas celebrations. Holly, which consists of green leaves and red berries, is meant to incorporate both red and green to symbolize life and blood.
Red became more popularly associated with Santa when Coca Cola company began an advertising campaign in the early part of the last century and Santa was sporting a red outfit, which very clearly matches the red of this popular beverage’s cans. Wouldn’t it be interesting if Coca Cola cans were made in both Christmas colors?
Hope this helps explain .....
I will stay OFF my soapbox

Star Red Ho-Ho-Ho!
"HO-HO-HO"....that's ridiculous!

We are getting sooooooooo far out there!

I have pity for anyone that is so thin skinned, that they'd
be offended by:

"HO-HO-HO" & / OR "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

I am getting reall sick of the whole political correct thing, and this is taking it way too far. People need to get a life, people who think up these things have way too much time on their hands.

I will say marry christmas, I refuse to say happy holidays, and if any one is offended, too bad. I agree with the person who said we should take back our country.

Well some women are ho ho ho's. I can't stand all this political correctness either. I say Merry Christmas and will always say it. The day someone tells me I can't put up Xmas lights they can kiss my butt! It's like the apartment where I live at we're not allowed to work on our vehicles and it's a lease violation. I'm sorry I'm gonna work on my vehicles cause it's my right and it's my mode of transportation!
