It was a well known fact Jesus cursed the Southern Hemisphere for his birthday not falling during a season in which it snows.

Tell them it's red to represent the blood of their Christ that was hanging on the cross.

Re: Starbucks insults Christians; doesn't have snowflake

I am sorry,but can we boycott them for not putting winter solstice things on their cups..like a yule log,or Christmas tree(cause pagan symbol)..Is Santa a christian symbol????
I am thinking a GIANT Dollar sign,cause that is what Christmas is all about these days.


Merry freaking Christmas(And it is GREEN)

Although Santa is technically Saint Nick, a real 3rd century bishop (known for b****slapping Arius the 'heretic') at a council, his image appears to be largely based on Odin. Sledge across the sky on mid winter eve (Wild Hunt) big beard, with some depictions of him in red and white. I have heard he left gifts in children's boots, maybe a Woden legend than Odin. I'd need positive verification from a resident heathen, though.

That said, I don't think there is any evidence that Christmas trees are pagan. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read into it a bit a while ago and the most likely contender is actually Christian, when a missionary cut down an important oak he then stood it up for all to see that it was just a tree and that "Thor's Oak" was just a tree.

It's worth remembering that most Christians know nothing of their own heritage and will likely call Hallowe'en and Christmas trees pagan without actually knowing anything about the origins of how their own celebrations came about. Really, most of these things have become secular additions, plug ons, for that people pick and choose regardless of their religion. See the massive Christmas tree in the Dubai shopping centre.

Re: Starbucks insults Christians; doesn't have snowflake

People are being such big babies about it. I just don't see a snowflake have something to do with Christianity. It's doesn't make any sense.

BAHAHAHAHAHA that's even better than the one I found here a few years ago! Though, ours still gets bonus points for being the Christmas tree of nightmares.

Re: Starbucks insults Christians; doesn't have snowflake

But... I like snowflakes... I even have a tattoo of one... *sniffs*

I'm actually more of a Caribou fan than a Starbucks fan.

Maybe those Christians should focus on Starbuck's logo. Figure that shiznit out dum dums.

I like the fairy tale where he's a mushroom better.

If you are lucky enough to have dandruff that could pass as snow.
