Every year it seems the war on Christmas crowd finds a new target. This year as we all know it is Starbucks. This year as we all know by now Starbucks changed the design of their cup from winter scenes and snowflakes to a red and green cup. Not a big deal. Well to most of us anyway. But to some , it was as if the world has come to an end. The people with the persecution complexes had to get all butt hurt over the new cup design and claim Starbucks was raging a "war on Christmas" because they changed the design of a coffee cup and are trying to take the "Christ out of Christmas" . These people I guess are not smart enough to realize that first, red and green are in fact Christmas colors. And second, winter scenes and Reindeer are not Christian symbols. Some of these nuts are even calling for a boycott of Starbucks. What makes this even sillier is that Starbucks has plenty of other Christmas themed products. Not to mention that Starbucks is a private company. They are not required to do anything to recognize any holiday. If you don't like the fact that Starbucks has red and green coffee cups here is what you do. I'll make this very simple for those of you who have a hard time with this kind of thing. BUY YOUR COFFEE SOMEPLACE ELSE. See what a simple solution that is? And you don't have to make yourself look like a complete idiot for getting all butt hurt over the color of a coffee cup.
There is no war on Christmas. All the TV specials, Christmas displays in stores, the fact that most stores have already begun playing Christmas Music. The whole idea that there is somehow a war on Christmas is just laughable. If you are bothered by things like the color of a cup or how someone greets you during the holiday season, I suggest you take a look at your priorities because they are pretty messed up and you are being a complete idiot. Not everyone is going to conform to your way of thinking. Suck it up buttercup and quit complaining about the color of a cup when there are far more important things to be worrying about. Put some of that energy in to you know helping the homelesss, feeding the hungry, taking care of the sick. You know things Christ might do? Funny how those of us who don't believe in a god understand what the stores of Christ taught better than some Christians. Forget putting the Christ back in Christmas. How about putting Christ back in Christianity and stop complaining about such mundane stuff.
