So if you don't put up pagan symbols as part of your business advertising or store, you are against Christmas.

What if you are Jewish? 

Please be so kind as to link to your source.

@Plaid Pants2  I don't think Starbucks ever had Christ in Christmas.  Past Christmas cups at Starbucks have been decorated with images of ornaments, snowflakes, reindeer, doves, nutcrackers, woodland animals, carolers, etc.  None of those images put Christ IN Christmas.  I personally do not patronize Starbucks for other reasons, but in this particular instance, I don't see how a cup design alone is being anti-Christian.  Saying "Merry Christmas" (or printing it on a cup, wrapping paper, or Christmas card) means one thing to Christians, but Christians alone don't own the greeting.  I think there are plenty of people who only celebrate the "Santa" kind of Christmas and still extend the same greeting.

Ah, here we go... not a site I would brag about, either.

'Fellowship of the minds' reminds me of last night's NCIS LA episode where there was a 'Church of the Unlocked Mind' in the plotline.

why?  What is so wrong with a simple red & green cup?

next thing ya know, people will demand the mermaid needs to go (as she is a pagan symbol)

BYOC - bring your own cup.

I'm just guessing here, but I'm thinking that lots of folks (including myself) have way too much time to think about cups.  I wouldn't be too happy if they removed statues/symbols/sculptures from churches/places of worship, though.  Oh, wait.........I believe some have already been removed............Getting back to coffee cups, it's my personal opinion that the red and green cups are festive enough.  (SB's coffee is way too strong for me, so I'm not biased.)  Just thinking, as usual.   

[ROMARY]

Yes!  I was going to suggest it in my last post.......BYOCup.  That's what I would do if I wanted to have a more festive cup.  Maybe thermos type of cups are available in Christmas designs.

These are some of the cup designs from past years.

Just more faux outrage from the faux war on Christmas nuts.
