Watching Al Roker spread his unique brand of joy in Rockefeller Center, as they get ready to light the big Christmas tree imported from Shelton.

And that’s what it is.
A CHRISTMAS tree.

I was faced with the annual dilemma earlier today, writing a story about decorations in downtown New London.
The information said “holiday” trees.

What’s a “holiday tree?”
I know there are no Chanukah trees, and I know there are no Kwanzaa trees. That leaves Christmas. So that makes them Christmas trees.

When referring to the season in general, I usually use the word “holiday.”
Then, after Chanukah, I usually switch to “Christmas.”

That’s what it is, so that’s what I do.
I'm a simple man.
