In my city, at the state capitol building, we have had a little riff here, that people were calling the 2 story tall tree a "Christmas tree" and the freedom from religion foundation came in and said, oh no no, you cant call it that, you make it seem like it is endorsing some particular religion. You shall call it, a holiday tree. "
I pondered this, and I came to thinking that if the Christmas tree is indeed secular in origin and practice, and more wide spread than just among Christians, oughtn't it to be a Holiday tree and not a Chrismtas tree? but of course in our own private minds, we might call it however we please, and save the p. c. title for the state capitol buildling.
I'm curious to hear other people's thinking on this? thanks
