Well, This Brought A Little Smile First Thing This Morning

Carolers interrupt lighting of ‘holiday’ tree

"Holiday tree"?  What...?  What's really embarrassing is that, when I worked at a parish in Rhode Island [which was also embarrassing], the current governor was on our list of members.  I never saw him, though; not even on Holiday Eve.

To extend the logic behind this, his state could truly affirm its role as one of the first secular governments by re-naming Hanukkah as "Holiday Candle Time" and Muslims as "Holiday-makers".
