Here's a snippet from the link:

"'O Holiday Tree, O Holiday Tree'

Meanwhile, Sharp says Lowe's, a leading home improvement retailer, has joined Target and many other retailers that are striving to be "politically correct" this Christmas shopping season. He says the Lowe's stores are now selling fresh-cut "holiday" trees."

P.C. has gone too far!

If the "season" is now about commercial shopping, to keep retailers from going bankrupt, instead of Christian tradition, then shouldn't the morally bankrupt store owners work out a better business plan than waiting until the final 2 months to turn a profit.

Especially when those sales are generated by high pressure buying ("you wouldn't want to deny your kids this", "buy now, figure out how to pay for it later") and many bait and switch ads ("5 at this price").

Something to consider when investing in the stock market.

Since Lowes and other retailers are selling "Holiday Trees"

I will be buying a "Christmas Tree", from a merchant who sells "Christmas Trees", NOT "Holiday Trees".

I will be buying my "Christmas" gifts from merchants who have Salvation Army bell ringing Santas, and black kettles, in front of their stores.
