    I doubt that Lincoln Chafee wants to ban the term "Christmas" but this is a matter of an official state tree and not a matter of private celebration.

    Just curious but religiously isn't Easter a more important holiday than Christmas? So if we are giving a holiday specifically for Christians wouldn't Easter be more fitting?

    Easter always falls on a Sunday -- which is not a normal workday the government gives us off. We don't get Good Friday off either.

    Retailers all over the U.S. would revolt.

    Thanks. I am getting much stronger physically since my return to Houston. Getting the HUD house into shape was a chore, but the house is appraised for three times the purchase price. I've been reading the D&D daily, but I have too many obligations to get involved on a prolonged basis. Several times I started to reply in threads regarding the tea parties but I refrained because posters were making up allegations faster than I could refute them.

    The Governor is acting like an ass. I've been a devout atheist my entire adult life, and I have zero problems with Christmas Trees. Sometimes, secular leftist can behave even more ridiculous than religious fundamentalist, and the avowed war against Christmas displays is an example of that.

    Since Christmas is a religious holiday why does the government give employs a day off?
