Lowe's falls victim to PC trap

This morning on WTQR it was reproted that the new Lowe's catalogue had been printed.  However, it is not a Christmas catalogue, it is a "Holiday" catalogue.  Not only is Christmas removed from the catalogue, they will not sell Christmas trees.  They will however, sell "family trees."  It seems that they don't want to offend anyone that may not celebrate Christmas as it is a religious holiday.  I am offended.  This is not a religious issue.  December 25, is the day that we, (this country) celebrates the birth of Christ.  Thus, the word "Christmas."  The holiday is solely for the celebration of the birth  of Christ so why remove the word Christmas from everything.  I am not African American and I don't celebrate Kwanza but I am not offended by those who do.  I am not Jewish so I don't celebrate Hanukah, but I am not offended by those who do.  The true meaning of Christmas has all but disappeared and it has become all about presents but like it or not, it is about the birth of Christ.  If it offends you, the don't celebrate it, it's that simple.  I guess what really gets to me is that Lowe's is so afraid of offending everyone except the Christians in this country, they remove any mention of Christmas in their catalogue, but you can bet the will do all they can to cash in on the holiday.  I personally will not support Lowe's if they cannot support the reason for the holiday.  Now before Axe berates me about forced religion, let me again remind you, the reason for the holiday is to celebrate the "BIRTH OF CHRIST."  Taking Christ out of Christmas is like taking "Independence Day" out of the forth of July holiday.  What would be the reason for the holiday?

I don’t celebrate Christmas and I am not offended by it, I hope you all have a merry Christmas but I did find this scripture interesting!
Jeremiah 10 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain

Jeremiah 10
1Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2Thus 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.
3For 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.
4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5They 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.
8But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
21. For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

We don't need a tree to celebrate Christmas. What is being said in this blog is that they are Christmas trees and Lowes chooses not to call them that because it has "Christ" in it and that is what Christmas is all about. It is fun to have a tree to display all the ornaments we have collected over the years, but that is not even close to what Christmas is about. It is not wrong to have a tree, it may not do us any good, except for the pleasure of looking at it, but the important thing that scripture points out is that it is not evil either. I don't know what holiday you do celebrate, Axe, but I hope you have a happy one!

I just got a brand new pound dog and named her "Christmas"..
Christians celebrate Christmas with Christmas Trees.
I was taught to respect all religions of the world.
Everyday part of our American Rights as Cristians are being taken away and we are allowing this to happen!
Stand up fellow Christians. I will not purchase from Lowes Hardware...they are too expensive anyway and there is another Home Hardware Store that is 100% better!
I truly believe in rights for all in this once Great Country and therefore Lowes has the right to sell and label anything they so desire, however, I have the right to purchase my CHRISTMAS TREES from anyone I choose and I DO NOT CHOOSE LOWES!!!!

Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen.

For the customs of the people are vain.

I have been married for 30 years and have two sons of my own as well as a step son and two step daughters. We have several grandchildren and each one is a light in our lives. I am retired from a state agency (early retirement) and currently drive a truck for a local company. In my spare time, I enjoy doing some woodworking in the small shop that I have at my home and my children and grandchildren have all benefited from my hobby.
