WHITE HOUSE (CNN) - Whoops! A picture of a Christmas tree is not the first thing you would expect to see on an invitation to an event celebrating Hanukkah, but that is exactly what recipients of invitations to this year's White House Hanukkah reception initially got in the mail.

The invitation sent to American Jewish leaders on behalf of the President and First Lady, requesting "the pleasure of your company at a Hanukkah reception," bore an image of a Clydesdale horse-drawn cart, carrying the White House Christmas tree, with a Christmas wreath-adorned White House in the background.

Mrs. Bush's press secretary, Sally McDonough, attributed the snafu to a "staff mistake" in not printing separate cards for the different White House holiday events, as has been the custom in years past. "Mrs. Bush is apologetic, It is just something that fell through the cracks," she said, referring to the role of the First Lady's office in sending out the invitations.

Check the dates on this list of kings. These are the ancestors of the Earls of Orkney. Their people were speaking non-Indo-European langauges cognate with the root languages of ancient Sumerian. They came down from what we now call Lappland ~ at some time they picked up the customs and beliefs of the Southerners, and passed on some ~ http://www.kvenland.com/ - which would necessarily include what we call today the Christmas Tree or the Yule Tree.

The decorated tree is pre Christian and pre Jewish!

Next year will they still complain when they get Ramadan cards from The People’s House?

I’m kind of surprised CNN didn’t use the term “Christianistmas”

It’s all ok.

They got the tree at WalMarts “Holiday Tree” Department

"It’s a HOLIDAY tree, not a Christmas tree.

LOL! There ya go. Who can argue with that?

Here ya go, ya heathen. . . :-)

Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 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.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold. . .

You do know that Moses was before Jesus?

When will the White House put their Christmas decorating on their website?

"You do know that Moses was before Jesus?"

Did you know that Abraham was before Moshe?

And. . .

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

(At least that's what they wrote.)
