As always around this time of year, there has been a lot of discussion lately of what is "politically correct" regarding holiday traditions in public.

Specifically, here at work there has been the ordeal about the Christmas holiday tree. This is a state agency, funding in large part by taxpayer dollars. So. Should we, or should we not, be allowed

I think they should put up a Hanukkah bush.

Or hell... put up a "holiday tree" and decorate it with lights. Put up the Menorah, put up whatever it is you put up for Kwanzaa and Yule, or Festivus or winter solstice.

I think it's DUMB that someone would get all butt hurt and complain that there's a festively decorated tree during the most holiday centric time of year. It's dark and cold and crappy outside, why the heck shouldn't they make it a little more cheerful inside?

I really don't see anything wrong with lights and other simple decorations

The complaint was simply that a state agency shouldn't be (visibly) celebrating a secular holiday. And that having a tree was like playing favorites to Christians

Yeah, I guess.
