Don't assume that just because this woman (or troon, you can't be sure of anything these days) defended labelling something 'christmas' one time that they don't want to destroy christian culture.
The only thing 'christmas' about that train is the red and green, and it's combined with blue. What's blue? Hannukah. So why is this train 'christmas', but not hannukah?
When you label this train a christmas train instead of a holiday train, you are in effect saying that ANYTHING remotely linked to european celebrations of the solstice is christmas, and thus, not sufficiently secular. It doesn't snow in Israel, your snowflakes are christmas! Ban snowflakes from 'holiday' things!
This rabbi saw RGB lighting and decided it was too much christmas to be 'holidays'. Someone that salty isn't defending you, they're attacking you.
They're insisting that holiday train has too much christmas to be a holiday train. I'm telling you that holiday train doesn't have enough christmas to be a christmas train.

Oh I know she wants to destroy it, that's not the point here. I was just saying I agree with her position on naming it a "Christmas Train", not that I agree with anything else she says.

Because Hanukkah is a minor holiday that has nothing to do with putting up lights at all, they just do it so their kids don't feel excluded at Christmas. Blue Christmas lights have existed far longer than any Jews were putting up "Hanukkah lights". In fact, electric-powered string lights were originally literally CREATED FOR Christmas lighting purposes.

Exactly. So what the hell is wrong with that? How do you think Christendom converted all the pagans a thousand years ago? By saying “oh you have those pagan solstice traditions, that has nothing to do with Christmas, so keep on doing that as a totally separate thing”?? No, the point of it is to continue to have Christmas be the predominant holiday, not to dilute it.

I didn’t say she was defending me, I was saying I coincidentally agree with that part of what she said.
