This is a Canadian tradition, has been since before it was a country... do you have to take part? No, people are free to practice anything they want. That being said, I think its disgusting that people think they can stifle it cause it doesn't line up with their beliefs that sit firmly in the minority. Society is pretty good about diversity, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere. You can practice anything you want, but our country's tradition is this, don't try and change it.

Oh poppy**** Mr T'Ball. Maybe the Scandinavians should revolt and take back "your" Christmas Tree...after all it was a Yule tree first! LOLOL
Happy Holidays...the wish...has been around as long as the "Merry Christmas" wish. People can build the entire Manger replica on their front lawns....but those of us who dont wish to be indoctrinated with Christian wishes should have that choice as well.
