I don't care WHAT the origin of the Chirstmas tree is or how many
centuries back dates the tradition of decorating trees.
The fact is that in 1998, in this country, this tree symbolizes
Christmas!
If i walked into a public building and saw a cross hanging on the wall,
the explanation that the Christian cross was derived from an ancient
Egyptian symbol is irrelevant.  it has a definite meaning today and is
unmistakable and instantly recognized the minute it is seen by anyone
born in this country.
