52 Paths to Heaven

I could care less of the Freedom from Religion Foundation is upset that Wisconsin lawmakers decided to call a Capitol rotunda tree a Christmas tree. I guess someone started calling it a holiday tree years ago (for some pathethic reason).

Maybe some non-Christian could be offended that public lawmakers call it a Christmas tree. Be offended. It’s a Christmas tree - the kind of lights, a star, gifts underneath and all of that.

Don’t celebrate Christman? That’s your choice. No one forces you to be a Christian. I’m sure many people exchange gifts on Christmas Day that aren’t Christians. Actually, I think that’s kind of funny.

Why don’t lawmakers decorate the the rotunda with Jewish, Muslim and Wicca symbols? Because not enough people care. People identify with Christmas. Those who feel put out can spend their time complaining in their private group meetings so no one has to be offended by their dispute.

Lawmakers represent the majority. If most people are annoyed with the Christmas tree name, they can voice their opinion at the polls. Somehow, I think the majority (vast majority) won;’t.
