A Toronto judge has ordered that a Christmas tree, which used to be displayed at the Ontario Court of Justice be removed, and relocated to a back hallway. Judge Marion Cohen wrote that she didn't think it appropriate that when people enter the courthouse, the “first thing they see is a Christian symbol.”

Sorry, try again. The tree is not a Christian symbol; it actually has various cultural origins, and somehow got incorporated into the Christian celebration of Christmas.

So remove the tree if you must, but don't blame the tree on the Christians. We weren't responsible for it.

Or just incorporate the tree into your own cultural celebration. After all, that's what the Christians did.
