So....you're attributing this to Obama?

Sorry, but this seems far-fetched.

You could say the person in charge sets the tone. Maybe not directly, but that's the company you keep.

I have heard a couple different accounts like this recently, both from Emails that were forwarded.  They also included comments about the tree not being called a Christmas Tree this year.  From Snopes I couldn't find anything, Google had a newspaper article from Arizona where kids who were making ornaments to send to DC were told to focus on themes about their state and not about anything religious. 

The Christmas tree in the White House was changed to a Holiday tree back in the nineties sometime and only recently became a Christmas tree again.  I don't know what the Obamas intend for this year but since he has told the world we are not a Christian nation I will not be surprised by anything they do.  Fortunately, a vast majority of Americans do know what Christmas is about.

It is strange, but I kinda know how the Libs felt a few years ago when the Dixie Chicks were apologizing for our president and people were threatening to leave the country...

and his actions don't seem to contradict these accounts....covering up Christian symbols in the background, belittling/misquoting scripture, not going to church, and before that going to some type of church that was very radical unlike a mainstream Christian church etc. 

that and it could have been some sort of agreement that anything "Christmas" be changed to "Holiday" from the top on down.  I would have imagined that this letter was some sort of form letter.  Every business has their form letters and with a new admin they may tweak it a bit here and there but usually it's some sort of precedent already set from way back.  So it was noticeable that in this letter "Christmas" was changed to "Holiday." 

But yes, the company we keep says alot about who we are doesn't it?
