Happy Holidays, Pt. 2

Since various conservative groups have determined that the Christmas tree is an integral part of celebrating the Christian anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ, will they now deem it sacrilege if anyone replaces an actual tree with a "rosemary Christmas tree"?

Since Christmas were originally evergreens, such as Fir, and the long-time tradition in America has been to use pines or firs ... can we really allow the subsitution of of an herb? Is this not yet another attack on the sanctity of the holy Christmas tree?

And an herb? Is it rosemary today, and then a much different "herb" tomorrow?

(And you are well-advised to not get me started on artificial trees, be they plastic, aluminum, or whatever else.)
