1. A clerk at a department store tells shoppers “Happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.”

2. A store renames Christmas trees, calling them “holiday trees.”

Answer: Event No. 1 is a reasonable and praiseworthy attempt at inclusiveness, since the clerk does not know which shoppers celebrate Christmas and which do not.

Event No. 2, however, is a gutless and ridiculous dodge of the obvious, buying into a new level of politically correct absurdity.

Amen!

By the way, there ain’t no such thing as a Hanukkah Bush. So don’t tell me the “Holiday Trees” is also covering these supposed bushes.
