Renaming Kentucky's "Holiday" Tree a Christmas Tree

To:  Gov. of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

This petition is to persuade the Gov. of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to rename the "Holiday Tree" being placed in the State Capital a CHRISTMAS Tree.



This is just COMMON SENSE! We live in a politically correct world where common sense has taken a back seat to an irrational fear of offending anyone. Other than Christmas and Arbor day, I am not aware of any other holidays that use a tree as the focal point. Calling what is so OBVIOUSLY a Christmas tree by another name makes everyone involved look downright silly!



Christmas is a holiday celebrated by an overwhelming majority of Kentuckians and Americans alike, regardless of religious designation. Christmas is a season, a spirit, and a time of unity, and the Christmas tree itself bears no religious significance.

This is where it starts! Referring to a Christmas tree as a "Holiday" tree, is the first step, next thing you know Santa Claus will be changed into a gender-neutral (We can call him Pat), racially ambiguous (Maybe he can be blue?), entity who is not allowed to deliver presents to children because it would be socially inappropriate to so without a permission slip and an adult present!



Santa can no longer be jolly (That would offend those with clinical depression) or fat (There is a war on childhood obesity) and can not magically fly around (that would offend those who do not believe in magic, and maybe promote Wicca?) Not to mention his army of enslaved little people and inhumanely treated, overworked reindeer who must trudge in the cold to take him on his appointed rounds! (That would upset Peta!)



After that, than no childhood holiday mascot is safe. Cupid could be a sex offender because he wears a diaper. Not to mention the fact that he carries a bow and arrow, that violates Zero Tolerance for weapons at schools. Somehow, the Easter Bunny would promote sexual promiscuity because rabbits are very fertile. And the tooth fairy might support gay marriage and an alternative lifestyle agenda!

Where does it end? It must STOP HERE! Mr. Governor, the "Holiday" Tree is a CHRISTMAS TREE! Use common sense, or doom us all to this fate!



Thank You.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
