"Light up your front yard, porch, patio, driveway, business, organization or church this holiday season with a stunning Christmas cross," reads the AFA website.

Yeah, it's stunning, all right, in the way that only a burning cross can stun. Or, as our Hair Balls correspondent notes: "Merry Christmas from the KKK. Seriously, what were they thinking?"

By the way, the conservative Christian AFA, besides advocating for the criminalization of homosexuality, has been on the front lines of the "War on Christmas." So we guess that's why it's the Original Christmas Cross, not the Original Holiday Cross.
