 In this Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2015 file photo, a barista pours steamed milk into a red paper cup while making an espresso drink at a Starbucks coffee shop in the Pike Place Market in Seattle. An evangelist's Facebook diatribe criticizing Starbucks for supposedly taking Christ out of Christmas by designing cups without seasonal symbols has garnered millions of views in early November 2012. But few of the those known for longstanding concerns about a so-called 'War on Christmas' are joining his complaint. Others wonder how this controversy, if indeed it is one, fits into the long history of squabbles over the place of Christmas in the public square. (Elaine Thompson/AP Photo)
