Christmas tree freedom

'TIS THE SEASON to argue about Christmas trees, menorahs, nativity scenes, and the separation of church and state. Do the symbols and trappings of a religious holiday in public spaces, such as state universities, municipal park grounds, high schools, or City Hall displays, exclude and oppress citizens who do not belong to the majority religion? Or do restrictions on such displays abridge religious expression in the name of sensitivity run amok? Are there Scrooges and Grinches out to steal Christmas, replacing it with a politically correct "holiday season" drained of all religious and cultural content? Is this part of a "war" by secularists against religion and Christianity in particular, as a series of recent reports on Fox News suggested?

Started to read this and then looked to see where it came from. Boston Globe. should have known. You know people have been wishing me happy holiday,and since I don't know what holiday means, I ask them, what is holiday?, I celebrate Christmas. When people wish me happy holiday or have a good one, I reply with, and a Merry Christmas to you. It lets them speechless. Lets put CHRISTMAS BACK IN THE SCHOOLS, AND ON THE CALENDARS. No one seems to know what holiday is.
