Those are not the people we are ridiculing here. We are ridiculing those who measure everyone else's Christianity by their own yardsticks and judge others as "real" Christians or "fake" Christians based on how they measure up.

Back in the day, every year we would get a whole crew in here berating everyone who celebrated any holiday, including Christmas and Easter.

Wow, looks like we're not going to have the yearly row over Christmas. That's unbelievable.

Yeah I was thinking just yesterday that we are lagging somewhat.

The Halloween Jack O'Lantern burned brightly this year. Lots of argument about Halloween. The Christmas tree lights are very dim though. We can't seem to get up enough Christmas spirit to argue about pagan tree worship and Satan Santa this time around.

Santa Clause is both real, Christian, and more awesome than some could even imagine.

I don't put up a Christmas tree. I'm not against it, I just don't put one up. I seen this tree online all decorated with all this lovely spider decor and now I want to start putting up a tree in this likeness of this one...

Isn't there a legend about spiders and a Christmas tree?

Doing a quick search: European folk tale about a spider that decorates a poor family's Christmas tree with webs of silver and gold.

That's beautiful.
Yes!! That's the one. I think I somehow saw it on Youtube last month. I had never heard that tale before. Otherwise I'd have thought a spider an odd thing to put on a tree, but I guess it's no more odd than a pickle!
