In my house, Natasha refers to the tree as her very own giant cat toy and plays hocky with the ornaments, but I don't think she's trying to be politically correct...I think she just likes playing hocky with the ornaments. Neither do I think she's anti-Christian.
ObFood (sorta): There's something very, very wrong about a company who stocks the vending machines with poppy-seed bagels, then administers random drug tests. Keep your fingers crossed that I haven't eaten enough of the bagels to test positive!
