Attacking Christmas Season Begins
The War over of Christmas begins this year with a traditional Christmas gift: The selection, cutting, and delivery of a Christmas tree by Nova Scotia to the city of Boston. The gift is a tradition, that stems from the Boston’s graciousness in helping the country recover from an explosion in 1917.
The rub is that the Boston city bureaucrats decided to deride and spit on the Scotian gift by renaming the Christmas tree a “Holiday” tree. This didn’t sit well with the logger who selected and cut the tree:
Donnie Hatt says if he’d known the tree he donated to Boston would be called a holiday tree, “I’d have cut it down and put it through the chipper.”
Boston should “just put Return to Sender on it because we sent it as a Christmas tree, not a holiday tree.”
Hatt also called Boston’s decision “a bunch of bullcrap.” How politically incorrect of Mr. Hatt to brandish the politically incorrect naming of the Boston tree!
Attempting to extract “Christ” from Christmas is a bunch of bullcrap. Christmas is what it is: a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Separationists’ attempt to blur by lying about its symbolism and tradition is stupid and does not fool anyone (but it infuriates many). I wonder: Would Boston rename the Christmas tree if that tree were symbolic of the Muslim faith?
