Christmas Tree or Holiday Tree?
#5
The Christmas Tree has become a modern Christain symbol for the Christmas season. It should stay that way. Trying to be Politically correct do we need to change some other symbols?
The Hanukkah Menorah isn’t called a Holiday Candelabra or Winter Candle Holder.
The Seven Principles of Kwanzaa isn’t called the Holiday Principles.
Maybe we need to add the following “holidays” to be more inclusive from wikipedia:
