Why should I change the name of a symbol of my religion to please someone else? Because they look at a tree with lights on it and get offended? huh?
More to the point, why does a Christmas tree offend anyone?
The only reason anyone would be offiened would be if they think negatively of the people who are Christian.
If someone wishes me Happy hannukah, and doesn't realize that I'm not Jewish, should I be offended? Because I'm not, and I don't see any reason why I should be.
I'll tell you what, I'll stop calling it a Christmas Tree when non-Christians, or those that are offended by a CHRISTMAS tree stop celebrating Christmas and actually show up for work on December 25th.
Christmas isn't a holiday like the 4th of July, it's a Christian RELIGIOUS holiday.
Can't have it both ways.
Rant over.

I have to agree. It is a freaking CHRISTMAS tree. Not a holiday tree or anything else.
I say Marry Christmas. If you are offended by that, all I can say is get over it. I don't throw it out in people faces when I know they are of another religion or anything, but come on people. If I see you on December 25th I am going to wish you a merrry Christmas, not say happy holidays. I am not about to change that to make everyone else happy.
I could be very wrong, but wasn't the country sort of founded on some sort of Christianity basis? Weren't the vast majority of the early citizens Christian?
Next time I see a commercial saying happy Kwanzaa, Chanukkah or so on I am going to be so offended that I call my local representative.
