Removing the Tree

Holiday tree, offensive to tree dwelling arborignies, goes on the rampage, killing holiday spirit. I don’t know if they called it a Holiday Tree or a Christmas Tree, but either way, it’s gone. Since it was decorated with non-religious ornaments, I’m guessing it was a Holiday Tree. Here’s a picture of the actual tree so you can see for yourself.

In any event, it’s been removed to “make sure no one is offended.” It’s been replaced with a snowman, reindeer and sleigh.

This is confusing to me because a decorated tree by itself isn’t religious. The Three Wise Men didn’t bring ornaments for the tree when Jesus was born, as far as I know. The origins of the modern “Christmas” tree have German, pagan roots, I believe. If you call it a Holiday Tree and decorate it with snowflakes and stuff, exactly who is being offended? And why would a tree offend somebody but a snowman is ok?

  1. Next time somebody says “Happy Holidays” to me, I’m going to start singing “Joy to the World” as loud and as off key as possible.
