State Tree is a "Christmas Tree"

Megan SkaggsaltIt's a Christmas tree, not a "Holiday" tree.  That was the word Wednesday evening from a spokesperson for Governor Steve Beshear. 

Last week in a statement, the phrase "holiday tree" was used to describe the state tree, that prompted criticism from some.  Wednesday, a spokeswoman said it was always a "Christmas tree" to the Governor and he's invited people to a "Christmas tree" lighting ceremony on November 30th.

Well thank God
I salute the people of Kentucky for fighting back against yet another PC plunge by a Democrat. The Gov Beshear's initial call was a window into his heart. The response by the people of Kentucky gives this airman a REAL reason to hope.

Thank heaven!
This situation is a prime example of political correctness that goes too far. Thank heaven Governor Beshear decided to wise up and see that. There's no way around it; Christmas is a religious holiday. The Christmas tree has been a symbol of that holiday for as long as any of us can remember, so there's no point in pretending that it represents all other holidays that fall around Christmas.

Foolishness averted, for now. Thank you Governor Beshear.

I guess if the Gov. does not meet the expectations of the people of KY about keeping the Christmas Tree instead of a holiday tree, he may be looking for new employment at the next election year. From a republican that voted for him. Let us keep CHRIST in Christmas as it should be and those that don't like it just suck it up. Its time we take back our Christian living and let those whose beliefs that don't agree with us keep quiet as we have given them their freedom to worship as they see fit.
