Christmas is that magical time of year when those of us whose ancestors were subjugated by the Roman Empire celebrate the birth of a Middle Eastern Jew with an orgy of cheesy consumerism. And nothing is cheesier than a $12 USB CHRISTMAS TREE.

Thanks for totally degrading a national holiday you ass.
How can you have a 'national' holiday if there is supposed to be a separation of church and state?
What's wrong with celebrating one's religion the way you want to. I'm tired of being politically correct. This country was founded on religious freedom.
I picked up one of these on a lark. When I started a new job I brought in as a joke, but everyone here loved it. I'm going to have to bring it in again this year.
All it does is get it's power via USB. It would be much cooler if you could somehow control it via your PC...
Peep into this amazing Christmas Blog to check out some really cool and better stuffs and unique ideas
Have all the relegious freedom you want, just give the rest of us some too. Christmas is a pain in the rear to non-christians and christians are heartless about it...
BTW, It was a Saturnalia tree before Christmas was invented.
You didn't give any information about the tree. What purpose does the USB serve? Just power the lights? Change the light colors? Lets you program how the tree turns, flashes lights and plays music in a sync?
You wanted to let everyone know you don't like Christmas. No one cares about what you think so if you don't have anything of substance to say, shut the fuck up.
Make a guess, for 12 buck, it just plugs in. Read, and he never said he didn't like Christmas. He might love a good consumeristic orgy. I used to do all my shopping on the 24th to get some sport out of it, then I switched to the day after Turkey day. Now, after years of marriage, and the realzation that for a few years now, the holiday has become a Gift card x-change, with over half of them being to Wal-Mart and Best Buy, only the kids will get gifts from now on. BTW, I hate the holiday, and don't feel the need to say "Shut the F--- up." Unlike good Christians.
Christmas had nothing to do with Jesus - The Annointed One. Christmas is a pagan holiday started by Simon the Sorcerer and his mother back in the days of ancient Babylon. It was such a popular holiday with pre-Christian peoples that the Catholic church renamed everything with Christian names. Jesus was born sometime in September and October and the fact that his exact birthdate is so well hidden in the Bible should be a clue to people that He does not want His birthdate celebrated. Don't believe me? Check the Catholic Bible, online encyclopdedias, and they will tell you the same about the origins of Christmas. Nevertheless, as much as I like Mike, that is rather "cheesy" of him to reduce Christ's description as a "Middle Eastern Jew".
Cheesy? He was Jewish, and from the Middle East, all those sources say that too.
Howabout this one; Fictional Middle Eastern Jew. Adding cheese costs extra, but might be worth it if it makes that fact easier to swallow.
Wow, I don't think you can read. I never said Jesus was not a middle eastern Jew. I said He should not be reduced to such a description. It would be like reducing the description of the Queen of England, to that of "some woman in the U.K". I thought most of Mike's List readers were savvy enough to read and understand what is written? You, anonymous, proved that to be wrong. Ted
