[Noisebridge-discuss] Christmas tree (against)

[Rachel McConnell]

Xmas is not everyone's holiday and I'd just as soon Noisebridge not take
sides, as it were.  I know that non-Christians in the USA are pretty
inured to Xmas (and Easter) if only out of self-defense, but I hope that
Noisebridge will not force a holiday on people who prefer not to
celebrate it.

<curmudgeon>
Also. Can't we keep ONE place free from Xmas crap?  NB is a place to
work and do projects, not be bombarded by Holiday Cheer.  There is
plenty of that EVERYWHERE ELSE.  And who will clean it up afterwards? We
have plenty of difficulty cleaning up the regular messes without making
special holiday messes.
