People will do anything for attention.

Sidenote: To the best of my knowledge, "trees" (Christmas trees) have absolutely no religious value whatsoever. So what was the argument? To me the trees seem like a seasonal tradition - not a religious celebration.


Christmas Trees have something to do with Christains / Catholics because of Saint Nick (aka "Santa")

St. Nick devoted himself to God, giving lots of gifts to the poor and needy, etc. So someone decided to make Christmas Trees the symbol of the holiday. I find it funny how you question only Christmas Trees when other religions have other random symbols.


P.S. I would like to know why all of a sudden, this year seemed to fire up Non-Christian / Catholics to be outraged about the word "Christmas" In an airport near where I live, they were too, forced to put down the tree.

But, I must agree, most commercials only say "Have a good Christmas" etc. When there are a couple more religious holidays.

(Sorry if some of this did not make sense, im kinda high, lawly.)
