Holiday Trees and Santa

At work, this email was sent to all employees yesterday:

As the holidays get closer, we would like to bring a little holiday cheer to our work area. You’re more than welcome to bring ornaments (Non-denominational only please… no Santa, religious etc.) to hang on our holiday tree!

Ignoring the silliness about the ‘holiday tree’, because brevity is the art of wit, or so it is said.

My thought was, ‘No Santas?! When did commercialism become a denomination?’

Or as my wife quipped, ‘Santa represents commercialism, the national religion; tell them that by forbidding Santa, they’re being unpatriotic.’
