At work, a star to be politically correct. Although, to be totally PC I guess we shouldn’t have a tree at work.
Seriously, I don't see how a star would be "politically correct." It's still a Christmas tree, not a Philip Glass Non-Denominational Non-Offensive Tree, with ornaments of Kyle and Stan dressed in black body-stockings.
My idea of PC is the blather about "Happy Holidays," which is somebody's pathetic idea of trying to be inclusive. In my workplace (non-government) we had someone give a Christian prayer before our annual awards dinner. Unlike some of the extremists in the ACLU, I think this is fine. But also, unlike some of the extremists in the Christian Coalition, I think we should recognize other religions during such an event. We have Jews and Hindus working here as well as Christians, and if I ran the dinner, I would ask one person from each of these faiths to say a short prayer before the Christian prayer.

Here's a Christmas poem, written anonymously by Carol Burnett for her high school (or was it jr. high?) newspaper:
i wisht i was a x-mas star
purched atop a tree
people would come from near and far
cuz of how bright i'd be
i'd shine all night, i'd shine all day
a lovly sight to see
and folks would look at me and say,
"we shoulda got a bell"

At home we use an Angel, when we had one on our deck in Frederick, we used a lightup star, and at work we use a plastic Michael Jordan head that I think came off a tube of candy. You should see our office tree. Equal opportunity offending going on there. We even have a Jack Daniels miniature bottle hanging from the tree (in back).

But wait, there's more...
alright ... if we can swing it, I'll sit on top of the tree when I get there, but it's gonna hurt like heck! oh, and I have neither ... I have this pretty santa clause lookin' dude with a long robe and beard holding a sack of stuff and a club. It's more "festive" than my redneck description, but I'm not much on words this morning.

We have an angel at my mom's house. When I had my own trees I never had anything. I don't know what I'll get when I get my house.... I'd like an angel but all you ever see are blonde ones. I won't have a blonde angel I want a brunette one DAMNIT! I may have to do some imprivising and dye one's hair. I've been looking for liek 4 years now with no luck.
