My cousin, a really wonderful guy, just got offended at me for calling it a Holiday Tree on facebook.
Concerning that image he linked to as his bumper sticker, I made this image a few weeks ago, but haven't done anything with it because I figure it probably is offensive. What do you all think?

xman declares all Christmas Trees are Holiday Trees because they're here for the holidays, but not all Holiday Trees are Christmas Trees because they're not all here for Christmas. Here's how it has gone so far.
GM No, you are wrong sir. I just went and checked my living room. There is a Christmas tree, but not a holiday tree.
xman Then your holiday tree is a Christmas Tree. Mine's just a Holiday Tree.
GM Are you aware how offensive your remarks are to me? Is it your intent to cause offense?
GM The one and only bumper sticker on my car is this: http://candidchatter.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/coexist2.jpg?w=300&h=300
I love all people and accept all people of all religions. But that does not mean I accept someone, anyone, attempting to minimize Christianity, which is what I see you doing.
xman Why should you be offended at MY nomenclature? Surely you can be inclusive of that too. I am permitted to call it a holiday tree if I want can I not? It's a tree for the holidays. You are free to call your tree for the holidays what you like. It's ridiculous to me that you should take offense. As ridiculous as a Muslim taking offense at a non-offensive illustration of Mohamed made by a non-Muslim. I am not bound by their dogma. I am not bound by yours either. That is not meant for offense, but for freedom of speech. I stand against censorship and that is what I see happening.
