We went to get our tree last night. Up here in Washington you can get the fullestest and freshest trees for so cheap. Not like in Texas where a Douglas Firr costs $40 and a Noble Firr is out of control expensive. We got our Douglas Firr, (6ft and full like I have never seen and we got a skinny one) for 18 bucks. I am not usually one to talk about money, my mom says it isn't appropriate, but have you ever heard of an 18 dollar tree that is actually pretty? Pretty Cool.Speaking of trees, have you heard of this mess about Christmas trees not being called Christmas trees but Holiday Trees? Yeah. I said it. Some nerds out there are saying that Christmas Tree is not a politically correct term anymore. Are you kidding me? Seriously. I read in an article in USA Today that all over the country people are arguing that a Christmas Tree put in the public eye by the city or state is not separating of church and state and so that everyone can enjoy the Christmas Tree it should be called a Holiday Tree. Many people in response to this rediculous nonsense said that what next, we have to call a menorah a candlestick? The only reason we have a tree is because of Christmas and even more funny it's roots are in pagan ritual. Some Christians don't even participate in Christmas Trees because of it's pagan roots. Ha! And now the Christmas Tree is ofending once again. You can not rename something just because everyone doesn't agree. Soon anything will be ruined, renamed, and reshaped by political correctness. I understand that groups of people wish to be called different names but seriously
It is a Christmas Tree!!!
At least that is what I have in my living room.

What is even more ridiculous is that the name they are changing the tree to "Holiday Tree" is just as religious. The word Holiday comes from the term "Holy Day". So they try to take Christ out of the tree and just replace it with the entire Trinity! Kinda like when they thought they would destroy jesus, but instead they birthed eternal life.
