In general I agree -- but I think calling a Xmas tree a "holiday tree" is ridiculous.

I have no problem with Xmas trees in malls, or even in public places if not paid for by tax dollars. If Xians want to pay for public Xmas displays, more power to them.

The Chabad puts up menorahs in many city squares -- and that is fine, too. Free speech and all that.

I only object when it is public schools or public towns use tax dollars to put on events or displays for one religion. That is discrimanatory.
