Royal Canadian Mint sells “holiday tree” coin and refuses to use the word Christmas, even in a history lesson connecting “holiday trees” to Queen Victoria (media.communities.win)

"December holiday traditions".

Ah yes. Much like one initiates the solar cycle with the ingestation of nutritional compounds, so too do December holiday traditions occur with regularity.

It's so stilted, just to avoid saying Christmas.

Meanwhile the same company has “Pride” shit everywhere on their site… funny how no corporation or government has issues talking about LGBQZ this or Trans that, but the minute it comes to something as traditional, wholesome, family-centered, and quintessentially European as Christmas… all bets are off. Unless of course they are peddling “Black Santa”.

The people pulling the strings in our society hate Christ passionately. By destroying a society built on traditional Christian values, they believe they are destroying Christ. This is the true nature of our world.

Well, I hate to say it but they seem to be succeeding. Christian Values and belief across America, Canada, Europe, Australia is nosediving… and fast.

But it is specifically for the Christmas holiday. I used to think they were overreacting a bit about the war on Christmas but the fact stores will acknowledge every other holiday but can’t say Christmas which is the biggest holiday in our country is ridiculous. There are a lot of non religious people who celebrate from a secular aspect as well.

My company sends out a bunch of "Happy Diwali!" emails, and post about it on LinkedIn specifically naming the holiday.

But for Christmas we get the "happy holidays" bullshit.

That’s the thing, they know what they are doing. Meanwhile the same companies always recognize Hanukkah, Gay Pride, Ramadan, Transgender Day, Indigenous Day, etc. etc. without hesitation. Their old argument used to be “not everyone celebrates Xmas”… well even LESS people celebrate or care about those other holidays or events, but that doesn’t stop them from celebrating them specifically. What they really mean is they want to profit off Christmas but hate the name Christ.

I hate the “not everyone celebrates Christmas” argument. I’m like so what. I don’t care when I see other holidays celebrated but worrying because someone who moves here is offended by the holiday celebrated by the vast majority is beyond asinine

It's so coordinated one can't help but wonder if it was planned and funded by someone.

Did You Know: Canada is run by niggers? Think about the definition of the word, and think about the people in charge. Coincidence?

I can’t wait to buy these for all the Easter Worshippers in my life.

They can’t say it.

Anyone else hate "coins" that don't look like coins, or is it just me?

Seems like an extension of the deconstruction of English by making the words meaningless.

I'm non religious and was brought up in a secular/atheist household. We celebrated CHRISTMAS every year, even though my parents didn't celebrate the church aspects. Why couldn't they even say it in the history part? Anyway, I left a review, maybe it will make it past the inspectors.
