"Christmas Tree" Incorrect again

Officials in town of Queen Creek, Arizona, remove the name of `Christmas' from community tree, rename it `holiday tree':

"A reference to the name "Christmas tree" has been axed by misled officials in an Arizona town. ADF attorneys sent an informational letter to the town of Queen Creek stating that the use of the word "Christmas" does not violate the Constitution.

"The American people, common sense, and the Constitution are clearly winning the war on Christmas waged by the Left. Unfortunately, the misguided belief that we must sanitize Christmas to keep from offending a small segment of the population still exists," said ADF Senior Counsel Gary McCaleb.

Queen Creek officials recently decided to rename their community's Christmas tree, which was donated by a local family, a "holiday tree." The tree, which stands outside city hall, is also used as part of a tree-lighting ceremony. Citizens unhappy with the name change have sent at least 60 e-mails to town officials.

Note that the ADF is being referred to. It would be too much to expect from the ADL.
