Somewhat relates to this thread - Holiday trees
I have noticed also this year (and maybe it has happened in past years, but I didn't really notice it until now) that small city goverments around where I live are using the term "Holiday tree" (in leiu of "Christmas tree"). Even UNT is using that this year.
Is this common? Has it been happening for awhile?
Personally, I am pretty indifferent on the whole "Christmas"/"happy holidays" thing. I'm just curious to see what other people think.
Do other faiths decorate a tree similar to a "Christmas tree" and call it something else (hence the term "holiday tree")? Or are the small governments and universities like UNT just calling it a "holiday tree" for the same reason as the "happy holidays"/"Merry Christmas" arguement? I'm just wondering b/c I don't know a lot about what other religions do at this time of year (i.e. decorate a similar tree, etc)
