Why Can't We Just Say Christmas?

David Spade, a well-known comedian and actor, recently called out a mall for avoiding the word \"Christmas\" during a tree-lighting event. He pointed out a clear double standard, questioning why it's okay to celebrate other religions but not Christianity. During a podcast episode, Spade shared his thoughts on the matter. He noticed that the event was referred to as a \"tree lighting ceremony\" instead of a \"Christmas tree lighting ceremony. \" This made him wonder, what's the point of the tree if you can't even mention the holiday it's associated with? His podcast co-host, Dana Carvey, agreed, stating that he's never met anyone from another faith who was upset about Christmas trees. Spade then expressed his dislike for the \"thought police\" who dictate what words can and can't be used. Spade also touched on the persecution of Christians in Africa, highlighting the unfair treatment of the Christian faith compared to other religions. He argued that people are quick to criticize Christianity but hesitate to do the same for other religions. The comedian's comments come after a city known for its progressive values faced criticism for removing the word \"Christmas\" from its annual tree-lighting ceremony.
