Is there a pine "Hanukkah tree"? "Kwanzaa Tree"? "New Year's Tree"? "Thanksgiving Tree"? Gimme a break! It's a Christmas tree, plain and simple. The use of a pine tree symbol doesn't relate to any holiday except Christmas during December. Argh.

It should be called a Winter Solstice tree.
"Learn not the way of the heathen ... For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not"
Jer. 10:2-4

The odd thing is the PC-police make a big deal out of saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" when the term "holiday" is basically the joining of the words "Holy Day".

His office said the tree began to be referred to as the Holiday Tree in the 1990s. Spokesman Ron Bonjean said the reasons were unclear. How about anti-Christian, whiney liberal, PC bulls$h!t?

The use of a pine tree symbol doesn't relate to any holiday except Christmas during December. The irony is that the tree was originally a pagan symbol that was incorporated by Christians not all that long ago. I read somewhere that the 17th Century Puritans would not allow Christmas trees at first because they saw it as worshipping nature and not Jesus.

Happy Hannukwanzmas! I believe the holiday you were searching for was RamaHannuKwanzMas.

For those business that insist on selling "holiday" trees, we should give them a visit a few days before Memorial Day and ask to purchase a "holiday" tree. The look on the clerk's face would be a hoot.

Please do not use this thread to bash Jewish people. Chanukah is a legitimate religious observance that occurs near Christmas each year.
Many rabbis have spoken out against the effort to diminish Christmas and Christians in American public life.
Christians in this country have given Jews the best and safest place to live that they have ever had. In turn, they have been among the best-behaved and productive people in our society.
