I think people just let themselves get offended over the stupidest things and I can think of A LOT worse things in this world to be offended over than a stupid Christmas tree .. time for people to get over it. This is North America and Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year and many Christians and Non-Christians observe it, just for different reasons of course.
Last week I went to my dry cleaners and it is owned by a Sikh family and ya know what? .. They had a Christmas tree up, a wreath up (that said "Merry CHRISTMAS") and various other decorations. It made me like and respect them even more than I already did, to see that they can respect North American tradition when in fact they didn't have to acknowledge it at all. I doubt anyone would have batted an eyelash if their business wasn't decorated for the season, being that they're obviously non-christian.
