Apparently there is some concern In Oregon that Christmas trees in public places are an insult to non Christians. What utter crap. What’s next? Give up Christmas? The ironic thing is that the decorated evergreen tree originated as a pagan custom in northern countries.
Well, as a non-pagan I still find it offensive.
Actually I don’t care if there are Christmas trees in public spaces, but it does annoy me that with a secular government no office holder is allowed to be an atheist. But that is a different issue.
They can overdo it with public creche scenes that fill the wholw square. That’s been slowly fading every decade, and I find it nicer when it isn’t so gaudy. Before it was like politicians wrapping themselves in the flag. Holier than thou, etc.
