A Rhode Island lawmaker is calling Gov. Lincoln Chafee “Governor Grinch” after he defied lawmakers and decided that the state would have a “holiday tree” instead of a “Christmas tree.”

I wonder if the old atheist is aware that the word "holiday" is derived from "holy day"?

Yes, but which religion is the question. Maybe the'll be happy with totally made up aluminum pole festivus trees or kwanzaa candle holders.
