Do not understand why we cannot be inclusive and call them holiday trees. Then everyone can call it whatever kind of a tree they want. This is one reason why religion is becoming so bad. Christians want to force their religion on other and do not respect the religious beliefs of other! In my home I call my Christmas tree a Christmas tree AND a Chaunnuka Bush. It is simply respecting others beliefs?0!

Research your own religion. The tradition of holiday trees was appropriated by various Christian groups as a way of bringing in converts from other (Pagan) religions into the church. Since then, Christians have expanded their tree decorating traditions to include Halloween, Mardi Gras, Valentines Day, Easter, and a few other holidays. It has also been re-appropriated by Nouveau Pagans, who view the tradition as a celebration of winter or life--with no connection to Christianity.

now if someone had the money and the time it would be a great thing to see how many different rooms U could stay in........I think we have stayed in probably 35 different rooms, in about that many years, sometimes we skipped a year but then there were a few years we went to Disney twice.
