Does having a Christmas Tree in public really offend anyone???
I see this every year that people get offended that there is a Christmas Tree in like a town square, a public office, etc.
It is now becoming more "politically correct" to say happy Holidays and saying "Merry Christmas" is becoming offensive. Isn't that a bit silly?
It amazes me that people actually protest to have Christmas Trees removed from these places saying it offends them. How does a Tree offend you?

I don't think people are offended that there is a tree, just that there is [i]ONLY[/i] a tree. Put up a Menorah or something too and people will calm down about the trees.[/quote]
The thing is Christmas seems to be loosely tied to one belief now-a-days.
It is a symbol of the holiday season and traditional to America culture.
It is not something meant to offend someone's culture, it is part of the scenery. [/quote]
Except for the whole CHRIST in its name and all, with SAINT Nick and all that...
Think about it some more.
If you were here and the ONLY public holiday was celebrating the faith you weren't in...[/quote]
What about SAINT Valentine's Day? Or SAINT Patrick's day?
Are those offensive, too?
