No matter what Philadelphia Democrats try, it always has been a Christmas tree and always will be a Christmas tree. It's comical for the city to try to suggest otherwise, cwtremo writes.
Philadelphia welcomed the Christmas season last week as the city held its annual tree lighting ceremony. The bells were jingling and the halls were decked, but the night was anything but silent as hundreds joyfully gathered to watch the city light up its Christmas tree. The event had nearly everything one would expect of a tree lighting ceremony except one essential thing — calling it a Christmas tree. Instead, Philadelphia city officials resorted to calling it a"holiday tree.
But Philadelphia's war on Christmas is nothing new. The city has a history of trying to eradicate the Christmas name from its annual celebrations. Consider the controversy surrounding the name of its beloved"Christmas Village." This yearly tradition mimics a traditional German Christmas market and is located about 100 yards to the west of the"holiday tree.
None of the country's other big cities, even those with Democratic administrations, appear to be so wacky enough to remove the name Christmas from their tree lighting ceremonies because of some misguided effort to promote some weird, disturbing sense of diversity allegedly. Philadelphia has outdone itself.
