The following was written by Ben Stein Commentary.
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees.. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.
There is a saying, “ Honesty is the best policy”. It is easy to be honest with other people, but we have a problem being honest with ourselves. Being honest or true to ourselves is scary because we have to face the real us.
