Christmas trees, Frosty and even Santa Claus have no connection to the religious aspects of Christmas and many non-Christians celebrate every year without a thought to Christianity. Putting up a tree is engaging in celebrating a holiday sanctioned by the Federal Government not an admission that you believe in Christianity. Now if you put out a Nativity scene, that is certainly Christian-themed. Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:09:59 +0000 http://www.forward.com/articles/148344/#IDComment244657938
