A battle is brewing in Wisconsin and you can weigh in with other Americans to stop this War on Christmas Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers does not like a Christmas tree being called a Christmas tree. So he is changing it. According to a Washington Post article, Gov. Evers has said the Christmas tree in the Capitol rotunda, as of this year, will be called a "holiday" tree.
Thus the War on Christmas continues. Those like Gov. Evers don't like the fact that the Christmas tree is identified with the Christian faith.
Republican Scott Fitzgerald, the state Senate majority leader and a 2020 congressional candidate, tweeted that Evers' move was "PC garbage. It's a Christmas Tree."

Well Gov, if you had any conviction you would cancel the Christmas holiday in the state of Wisconsin for all government workers. We know that Christmas holiday comes from the Christian faith so live up to your conviction and cancel all of the Christmas holiday in Wisconsin for everybody.

Can a state ignore a Federally mandated holiday?

My understanding is that the word “holiday”, is a contraction of the words “holy” and “day”.
So when someone calls it a “holiday” tree, the correct response is to inform and question.
“You know holiday is the short form of holy day, so what holy day is this tree celebrating?

On the bright side we have a president who is proud to say it.
I hope he says it in every seconds from now until Christmas Even if it doesn’t apply :-)

The tree went up a week after Halloween and 20 days before Thanksgiving. If that doesn’t make it a holiday tree then what does?

Time for our President to schedule a mid-December rally in Wisconsin!
Rub the Democrats noses in it, and make the media defend them.
Garbage like this will impact the election far more than the ongoing farce in the House of Representatives.
